Aqua Metrology Systems Acquires Assets from TraceDetect
Aqua Metrology Systems (AMS) purchased assets from TraceDetect Inc., a trace metals analysis and monitoring equipment company for the energy, manufacturing, mining, semiconductor and water markets.
The product range of online and offline instruments from AMS and TraceDetect provide real-time data on disinfection by-products and trace metals needed for regulatory compliance and optimization of contaminant remediation processes.
TraceDetect, a Seattle-based company, was formed in 1998 to research and commercialize products targeting metal analysis in water treatment, chemical and mining industries. TraceDetect has globally commercialized a line of highly accurate and reliable instruments: MetalGuard online monitors and SafeGuard offline analyzers. The MetalGuard online monitors and SafeGuard offline analyzers measure the presence of arsenic, chromium VI, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, nickel, selenium and zinc.
“Our online THM monitors and offline THM analyzers were developed in the belief that real-time accurate and reliable data are vital to process control and optimization; and this information should be readily accessible to those responsible for protecting water resources, water treatment, regulators and the consumers,” said Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems. “TraceDetect developed their onsite trace metals instruments with this same philosophy and as such, the broad range of TraceDetect analytical solutions are the perfect complement to our growth and diversification strategies.”
Design, development and support of the complete TraceDetect trace metals product range will be based in AMS’s Research and Development Center in Sunnyvale, Calif.
