A Passion for Clean Water leads to Helping Hands for Water

by Rich Cavagnaro

President, AdEdge Technologies

At AdEdge Technologies, we have as one of our core values a "Passion for Clean Water". This can be drilled down to simply meaning having an impact on people's lives. This feeling is a key driver on the type of personnel we are looking for during our interviewing process. it is also one of the main competitive advantages we offer as a company...our customers can feel our passion. This attitude is present in many ways from how we provide customer service, to our work ethic, to our strides toward excellence.

One of the things that make me feels so proud of our staff, is the 501(3)C charity they started this past year, Helping Hands for Water (HHFW). HHFW has already engaged in fulfilling two water treatment projects for communities in Latin America and in the southwestern U.S. to remove arsenic and uranium from these communities source water. Our staff has rallied around these projects dedicating their talents and time to make this endeavor happen!

In the next few weeks, we will be announcing a fundraiser activity to be held on October 24, 2010, to help offset some of the recipient charity's costs for these projects. If you feel this is something you would like to participate in, please contact info@helpinghandsforwater.org

The AdEdge Technologies Clean Water Blog...Our Hope.

by Rich Cavagnaro
President, Adedge Technologies, Inc

As a company tradition at AdEdge, we keep Friday's lunchtime open for a company lunch with all staff members. Subjects can range across many topics but usually center around a theme from one of our Company's Core Values.

Passion for Clean Water

Integrity Any Time... Any Place

Exemplary Service

Excellence

Enjoyment of Work

Last Friday we had a discussion whether it was acceptable to place a lottery ticket in a church offering basket. Most people felt it was not a tasteful act to do this, but one employee mentioned that since religion is strongly associated with hope, this should be looked upon as the lottery ticket offering hope! When phrased this way most people seemed to now think this was no longer distasteful. I am in no position to understand the underlying psychological behavior this presents but it is an interesting point. Over the weekend I thought about this concept further and since our blog site is new, I was trying to understand what is it we want to accomplish with our AdEdge "Clean Water" blog and then try to look at it from another perspective.

Naturally, we want our blog to provide information about AdEdge, and about the water treatment technologies we offer, but I wrote down some other points as well using "Hope" as the catalyst for my thoughts.

I hope we become a trusted source of information concerning water treatment technologies and systems.

I hope we can connect with people around the world to educate and provide an opportunity to raise questions and concerns.

I hope we can recruit a much needed younger generation and educate them on water issues. I hope we can communicate innovation quicker to the industry which in turn allows people and communities a quicker utilization of new innovations in water treatment.

Conversely I hope the world network will be a beacon for us to innovate new products or services.

I hope our customers share their testimonials about doing business with AdEdge.

I hope we communicate positive contributions made by our industry and by our employees to enhance peoples' lives around the world.

I hope we continue to improve our use of social media to communicate more effectively to the world.

I hope this site enables us to become closer to our customers.

To quote William Sloan Coffin, "Hope arouses, as nothing else can arouse, a passion for the possible."

Hydrogen Sulfide

Quoted from http://www.adedgetech.com/hydrogen_sulfide.html:

Hydrogen Sulfide

Effective Treatment For Hydrogen Sulfide In Water

Sulfates and hydrogen sulfide are both common nuisance contaminants. Although neither is usually a significant health hazard, sulfates can have a temporary laxative effect on humans and young livestock. Sulfates also may clog plumbing and stain clothing. Hydrogen sulfide produces an offensive "rotten egg" odor and taste in the water, especially when the water is heated.

Treatment options depend on the form and quantities in which sulfates and/or hydrogen sulfide occur in untreated water- Therefore, it is critical that a comprehensive water analysis be conducted.. Small quantities of sulfate may be removed from water using distillation or reverse osmosis, while large quantities may be removed using ion exchange treatment. Hydrogen sulfide gas may be associated with the presence of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria. Hydrogen sulfide may be reduced or removed by shock chlorination, water heater modification, activated carbon filtration, oxidizing filtration or oxidizing chemical injection. AdEdge provides treatment for hydrogen sulfide using our AD26 media in our systems, it is the same as for iron and manganese, allowing the removal of all three contaminants in one process

Adedge Technologies :: Remediation

Groundwater Remediation

Several industries and industrial processes may contribute to soil and groundwater contamination. AdEdge Technologies has supplied filtration equipment for several remediation efforts to remove arsenic, lead, and other inorganic contaminants to meet state and federal mandates.

These contaminants might come from lumber processing facilities that use arsenic to treat and preserve the boards, cattle or other animal dipping sites that use arsenic-based pesticide baths, plant nurseries that use arsenic pesticides, construction sites that have high lead contamination from demolition of old buildings, or mine waste and run-off sites that might contain several metals like lead, iron, arsenic, and others. These types of sites are all candidates for systems designed to pump the groundwater through site-specific filtration systems for treatment. After chemical analysis of the water, the systems are sized and operated so that the effluent water can be sent to sanitary sewers or used in ponds as decorative features or for irrigation, allowing the land and groundwater to be used productively after the remediation.

Q: Why do we need to remove excessive fluoride from drinking water?

The US EPA has set a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for fluoride in drinking water at 4.0 mg/L and a secondary limit of 2.0 mg/L because fluoride can cause chronic health issues such as bone and tooth density loss, heart problems, respiratory disease and cancer at higher levels. More and more communities are taking steps to remove excess fluoride from drinking water due to these known health concerns.
