Monsters Protect Pump Station, Weather Storms In Scotland
7/14/2015
Pump blockages and rags are a significant barrier to energy and operational efficiencies at pump stations, causing unscheduled shut downs, safety hazards for operators, costly equipment repairs and increased power usage due to a decrease in the pumps’ hydraulic performance. Scottish Water observed these negative effects caused by an influx of wipes and rags throughout a network of area pump stations. Engineers looked to a proven, powerful solution in the form of two JWC Environmental Channel Monster® grinders at one of their most problematic sites.

Total Systems Approach To Wastewater Treatment
6/15/2015
The total systems approach (TSA) to wastewater treatment is focused on offering industrial clients a fully integrated wastewater solution — one that includes all pieces of the puzzle, rather than simply a set of uncoordinated components and systems.

10K Muffin Monster Takes Over When Macerators Can’t Cut It
6/3/2015
The Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) provides regional wastewater services for the area northeast of San Antonio, Texas and serves the surrounding communities. After years of frustration in dealing with severe problems with plugging of the pump suction lines that led to frequent pump rebuilds, they turned to the 10K Muffin Monster. The 10K Muffin Monster now plays an integral role in this water reclamation plant’s system by grinding the primary sludge and debris that is pumped to the digesters.

Grit Particle Settling – Refining The Approach
3/25/2015
Grit settling velocity is significantly impacted by variability in size, density and shape. The conventional assumption of spheres with a specific gravity of 2.65 is inadequate for characterizing grit.
