In this episode of AMS Talks, industry consultant and special guest host Nadia Abboud sits down with Rocio Flores, Water Quality Engineer for Golden State Water Company. Rocio shares valuable insights into how Golden State Water has been tackling the challenge of managing a groundwater source with selenium concentrations that exceed the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for their Edna Road System. Watch this interview for an insightful look into managing heavy metal exceedances in areas with limited water sources and the value of investing in real-time selenium monitoring to support the treatment process.

As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes inorganics, organics, and metals from water and wastewater. This revolutionary system reduces the need for bulk toxic chemicals.  The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic ferrous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. It operates on low power electricity from renewable sources.

The fully automated SafeGuard™ H2O technology produces a non-toxic stannous reagent onsite and on demand using an in-situ electrolytic generator and a certified precursor. As a cost-effective and efficient solution for municipal and industrial users, SafeGuard™ H2O removes Cr(VI), Fe, H2S, Hg, Pb, and Se from water and wastewater. It also acts as an antibiofilm, antimicrobial reagent for produced water, and as a corrosion inhibitor in distribution networks and cooling systems.

In the fight to keep water safe and affordable, there is only one technology for the job! SafeGuard™ H2O is a fully automated, on-demand, in-situ generator of stannous (reducing agent) and tin dioxide (adsorbent), coupled with online monitoring capability. SafeGuard H2O removes As, Cr(VI), Cu, Fe, Pb, and Mn from drinking water and As, Cr(VI), Hg & Se from wastewater; acts as corrosion inhibitor for lead pipes and cooling systems; adsorbs SO2, H2S from industrial emissions. Tin and electricity are the only consumables. There are no similar technologies to SafeGuard H2O that integrate a low life-time cost contaminant treatment system with real-time performance controls. With SafeGuard H2O, contaminants have met their match!

Semiconductor manufacturing is not only highly dependent on large volumes of water that must be treated to ultrapure standards, but the process also generates significant volumes of wastewater that contains heavy metals and toxic solvents. To reduce its environmental impact, the semiconductor industry is actively searching for new ways to optimize water consumption and improve the quality of wastewater effluent. AMS offers innovative online real-time, continuous trace metals monitoring solutions designed to aid the semiconductor industry in optimizing water consumption, improving the quality of wastewater effluent and reducing its environmental impact.

In this episode of AMS Talks Value of Data series, Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, is joined by Gail Heath, Research Professor at the University of Arizona and Chief Operating Officer of Sub Rosa Monitoring, who discusses the importance of real-time monitoring of water quality for trace metals in mine and tailings pond management. Heath shares insights about Sub Rosa Monitoring’s effective and integrated approach for water quality monitoring of ground and surface water contamination at mining sites that enables companies to obtain advance warning of the potential environmental impact of their operations, as well as where he sees the future of online water quality analyzers for mine and tailings pond management.

Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, discusses the key challenges faced by leaders of technology startups in the water industry, including funding strategies, setting expectations, and building an expert team.
