AMS_Alternatives_Bulk_Ferric_Chloride_Viewpoints_11.23
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
With increasing concerns about the quality of bulk reagents such as bulk ferric chemicals that are widely used in the water treatment industry, utilities are seeking alternative, more carbon neutral, and environmentally friendly treatment methods. AMS’ SafeGuard™ H2O technology is a sustainable alternative that responds to that need. SafeGuard™ H2O has numerous advantages over traditional coagulation processes that depend on bulk ferric chloride.
The on-site generation of a ferrous/ferric reagent available through the SafeGuard™ H2O system requires a smaller footprint, and it offers greater reliability to utilities looking to reduce GHG emissions. SafeGuard™ H2O also has a 30 - 50% lifetime cost advantage, considering the cost of purchasing bulk chemicals, manual process supervision, and waste disposal. Generation of Water Treatment Chemicals On-Site and On-Demand SafeGuard™ H2O is a fully automated advanced water treatment system that generates a ferrous/ferric reagent onsite and on-demand, replacing the use of toxic and hazardous bulk ferric in traditional reduction-coagulation-filtration processes. The technology works to remove a wide range of inorganic, organic, and trace metal contaminants by using a non-toxic, certified reagent precursor material (low carbon steel) and an in-situ electrolytic generator to create a nonhazardous reagent.
