Case Study: Treatment Plant Gets ‘Green’ Makeover

Monday, December 6th, 2010

The air smells sweeter in northwestern St. Louis County Missouri. And they’re giving thanks to six high-efficiency Monster Separation Systems - Bandscreen Monsters combined with Screenings Washer Monsters, and the ingenuity of Burns & McDonnell.

The recently completed Missouri River Treatment Plant upgrade succeeded in overcoming one of the several challenges: odor control, that plagued the treatment plant over the years.

Muffin Monster® Equipment is GREEN in More Ways Than One!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Congress and the Administration are anxious to put Americans back to work with the economic stimulus package and will allocate $4 billion to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund over two years.

Half of the funding will be spent within 180 days and most States are already approving priority projects; in addition, the second year of stimulus funding is a wide open opportunity to apply for loans or grants to purchase new equipment and/or make upgrades.

Replacing worn out equipment with JWC technologies is simple, quick and affordable – plus our innovative solutions provide long lasting benefits. In addition, Congress requests 20% of the funding go toward “green” energy and water efficiency projects at wastewater treatment plants.

We’ve highlighted the green benefits associated with each of our technologies –

Short-Term / Immediate Projects
Muffin Monster®
Small Pump Station Grinder

• We do the design work
• Easily bolts onto the wall
• Fits almost any pump station – in-channel or wall mounted
• Effectively grinds rags, trash, wood and debris to protect pumps
• Helps prevent sewage spills

Green benefit: Eliminates trash truck trips to your pump station.

Channel Monster®
High Flow Pump Station Grinder

• Simple design work
• Little to no civil work
• Fits almost any pump station – in channel or wall mounted.
• Incredibly powerful – grinds rags, trash, plastics, wood and debris to protect pumps
• The large XD 2.5 model is designed to handle first flush storm loading
• Exclusive immersible motor

Green benefit: Helps prevent sewage spills.
Green benefit: Replaces pump station bar screens so trash truck trips can be eliminated. Inorganic solids are removed at the treatment plant headworks

Mid-Term / Efficiency Projects
Auger Monster®
Affordable headworks screen for small and rural facilities

• Install a brand new headworks
• Customized to fit your channel and site
• Little civil work needed
• Clean and compact
• All flow passes through a perforated screen with 1/10”, 1/8” or 1/4” (2, 3 or 6mm) openings
• Excellent washing
• Optional built-in compactor
• Optional built-in bagger
• Ask your engineer or consultant to look at the Auger Monster.

Green benefit: The all-in-one system eliminates separate washer-compactor so it is more energy efficient
Green benefit: Helps eliminate standing water sent to the landfill

Screenings Washer Monster
®
The industry’s cleanest screenings

• Retrofits to most existing screens
• Dewaters screenings up to 50% or more
• Reduces volume of screenings up to 80% or more
• Many treatment plants have cut their disposal costs in half or more
• Grinder and wash system help remove more soft organics
• Greatly reduces odors

Green benefit: Helps cut down on trash truck trips to the landfill.
Green benefit: Helps eliminate standing water sent to the landfill.

Honey Monster®
Septage receiving station

• A Honey Monster septage receiving area is a simple and quick project which helps the treatment plant run more efficiently and brings in needed revenue.
• Complete engineered system
• Grinds, screens and compacts unwanted material typically found in septage, such as rags, clothing, trash and plastics
• MonsterTrack controller records the driver, discharge amount, pH and other details to make billing and invoicing easier

Green benefit: Ensures compliance with local septage discharge regulations

Longer-Term / Efficiency Projects
Finescreen Monster®
Monster Separation System®

• Install brand new fine screens
• In most cases retrofits into your existing channel and building
• Low profile and easy to install

• Ask your engineer or consultant to look at the Finescreen Monster.

Green benefit: Integrated Screenings Washer Monster® helps clean and compact discharged screenings – at some MSS sites the system captures more trash yet needs fewer trips to the landfill thanks to the SWM.
Green benefit: Fine screens remove most of the trash, plastics and debris ensuring unsightly trash does not end up in the biosolids applied on farm land.

Muffin Monster®
Grease receiving station

• Simple receiving system allows grease to be unloaded into the digesters in order to improve biogas production
• Grinders shred the rags, towels, cuttlery and other trash typically found in restaurant grease
• Heavy objects trap removes rocks and large steel items
• Ask your engineer or consultant to look at the Muffin Monster.

Green benefit: Reuse of a once unwanted product (grease) and increased bio-energy production.

Fish Cleaning Station

Clean, cost effective and reliable

• Turns fish waste into small particles that are easily flushed away.
• Self-contained unit uses a Muffin Monster dual shafted grinder to shred solids, such as fish parts, cans, plates, utensils and fishing lures, preventing clogs and protects downstream equipment.

Green benefit: Small 3HP motor is quick and energy efficient.

Library in Plantation Florida Sees Green

Plantation Library children showing off their Muffin Monster  reuseable grocery totes!

Children at the Plantation Library showing off their Muffin Monster reuseable grocery totes!

“Read. Return. Repeat and Go Green” was the motto of this year’s Summer Reading Program at the Helen B. Hoffman Plantation Library in Plantation, Florida. Kudos go to Heyward Inc. – Winter Park office, who donated plenty of our handy reuseable Muffin Monster grocery totes to those children who participated in the Summer Reading Program.

Children planting seedlings as part of the summer reading program.

As part of the program, the children learned different ways to conserve water; planted seedling trees; participated in craft and science projects; and received informative booklets from the American Water Works Association (AWWA), and various Florida City and Public Works departments.

It appears that Plantation has proven that everything was greener at their Library this summer! Read more about the Plantation Library here.
