The Water Online Show: AMS

Industrial water was long treated as someone else's problem once it left the fence line. Rick Bacon, CEO of AMS, tells Angela Godwin of Water Online how regulation and the economics of treating versus not treating have changed that thinking, and what it means for reuse. The conversation covers high impact contaminants, real-time monitoring as the "brain on the muscle" of a treatment system, corrosion control for cooling in power generation and data centers, and difficult contaminants such as urea in semiconductor plants. Bacon also describes how a waste stream can start to look like a revenue opportunity.

Hear his outlook on where water neutrality is heading over the next three to five years.
