Pooh the goldfish and his rescuer in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Pooh the goldfish was apparently not wanted by his owners because he somehow got flushed down the loo and into the sewer system. The little fishy survived the long ride through the collection system and was plucked to safety by an observant worker who saw him swimming near the headworks screens.
“This is one lucky little fish. We just need to find a good home for him now,” said Jake Huey a treatment works operator for Scottish Water.
The Grit Monster vortex removal system is both compact and reliable, removing sand, gravel, shells and coffee grounds as wastewater passes through the headworks.
JWC has received an order for several Monster systems to be installed in the Johnsonburg wastewater treatment plant in Eastern Pennsylvania. The order includes several Channel Monsters, Grit Monsters, Screenings Washer Monsters andBandscreen Monsters. The facility is undergoing an extensive upgrade. Mike Perone/DAS is the contractor and Uni-Tech is the Consulting Engineer.
Removing grit at the headworks benefits downstream systems and increases the service life of pumps and process equipment. JWC’s Grit Monster, when integrated with JWC’s Bandscreen Monster become the Monster Separation System: A Complete Headworks – increasing operating life of downstream pumps and systems.
At the Theresa Street wastewater treatment plant in Lincoln, NE a pair of old-fashioned washer-compactors now feed a Screenings Washer Monster – the old-style units didn’t do any washing or compacting so the site called JWC’s SWM to clean-up the screenings and do the job properly. The discharged screenings are now much cleaner, drier and have little to no visible fecal content. There’s also no standing water in the dumpster.
The old-style compactors were discharging wet, heavy and fecal laden screenings. As screenings built up the dumpster would leak foul smelling liquid all over the ground. (photos by Paul Cockrell)
BEFORE - Old-style compactor generating wet, heavy and sloppy screenings. This material is now fed into the SWM so it's properly cleaned up and compacted.
AFTER - The Screenings Washer Monster grinders, screens and compacts discharged screenings to get them cleaner and drier than any other type of washer compactor. It takes a Monster to get screenings this clean! (credit: Paul Cockrell)
2009 Top Monsters!
…the 2009 JWC Rep Council!
Dwight Craig, Misco Pacific (California); Randy Hamlett, Hamlett Environmental (Michigan); Woodie Chambers; Craig Justice, Heyward (Georgia); Tim Miller, Electric Pump (Minnesota); Greg Jager, G.P. Jager (New Jersey); Bob Russell, Hartwell (Texas).
Every year we invite six reps to spend a week with us discussing the market, what JWC does well, what we don’t do well and what products or improvements the market needs. These discussions help guide our strategic planning for the upcoming year.
This year’s week of discussions was especially helpful in reviewing the government’s implementation of the economic stimulus package and reviewing JWC’s positioning during the planning of current and proposed ARRA funded projects.
So, to the gentlemen of this year’s JWC Rep Council – You ARE the Top Monsters!
It's a beautiful thing - one of the first pictures of an installed next generation Auger Monster XE wastewater screening system.
The high-tech and affordable Auger Monster XE is the next generation of wastewater screen for small and medium flows. The upgraded XE design was unveiled at WEFTEC.06 and continues to demonstrate JWC’s leadership in the design of perforated auger screening systems. Today we’ve gotten our first site pictures of an installed unit and it looks beautiful!
You can see several cool XE features:
The Auger Monster XE makes screening up to 11-million gallons per day (1735 m3/h) of wastewater simple, affordable and clean. The optional integrated compactor and auto-bagger mean you get an all-in-one system to grind, screen, convey, compact and even bag the trash for you!
More pictures after the jump!
The Auger XE's perforated screening trough with 1/4" (6mm) circular openings captures far more unwanted solids and trash than bar screens - including small pieces trash such as plastics, rags, latex and cigarette butts. The dual wash water systems clean captured solids as they are conveyed out of the wastewater channel.
