Reducing Emergency Sewer Repairs in Big Box Pump Lift Stations Caused by Non-Dispersible Debris
AQUALIS and JWC Environmental (JWCE) have teamed up to provide a solution for retailers that reduces lift station clogs caused by wipes, rags, clothing, rocks, wood, plastics and other non-dispersible debris. A growing number of major retailers are adopting Monster Industrial Manholes, from JWCE, equipped with high-powered dual-shafted grinders and proprietary cutter technology that shreds wipes, diapers and other debris into small pieces to keep lift pumps up and running – virtually eliminating the need for emergency repairs, and cutting municipality fees for
discharging pump-clogged trash into sewage lines.
Wastewater treatment plant operators have dealt with clogging problems at their plants and pump stations for decades, but the meteoric rise in the use of disposable wipes and other non-dispersible products has accelerated the problem to epidemic proportions.
Big Box Dilemma
This problem is in no way limited to municipal wastewater treatment facilities. The growing volume of non-dispersible solids is just as much a serious and growing issue for commercial operations, such as healthcare facilities, multi-family developments, high-traffic convenience stores, and big box retailers. Many of these facilities maintain on-site pump lift stations, which are the first to be impacted by this non-dispersible debris.
Servicing one of the world’s leading retailers, AQUALIS was tasked with finding alternative solutions to the non-dispersibles problem.

Monster Technology Helps Marijuana Cultivator Increase Efficiency While Complying with State Regulations
| By Rhonda Williams | 0 Comments
The legalization of recreational and medical marijuana in recent years has skyrocketed cultivation of the product. The multibillion-dollar industry is growing millions of pounds of marijuana annually and production is only expected to increase in the coming years. The rapid expansion is not without its share of operational and regulatory challenges.
Within the US and Canada, legal marijuana businesses must comply with state or provincial-mandated “seed to sale tracking” for their cultivation operations. This includes accounting for plants, plant materials and harvested waste. Part of these regulations also defines specific waste disposal requirements. The disposal methods often include grinding up marijuana waste and blending it with non-marijuana waste like soil or cardboard.
Strategies for maintaining compliance are something companies like Matrix NV, LLC, a large marijuana cultivator in Southern Nevada, have had to figure out. Matrix NV has been at the forefront of the recreational and medical marijuana boom since its inception in 2014.

Improving Pump and Centrifuge Performance in Crude Oil Tank Bottom Cleaning
| By Rhonda Williams | 0 Comments
One of the most important issues influencing the profitability of industrial and manufacturing operations is maximizing equipment uptime to maintain a consistent throughput of production. This is clearly a priority in all aspects of the oil and gas industry, which relies heavily on the movement of fluids in closed systems, where production can be slowed or brought to a standstill because of a clogged valve or pump.
Crude oil refineries are especially at risk because of the high solids content of slurries moving through these operations, particularly relating to storage tank bottom cleaning at refineries. Pumps, centrifuges and liquid-solid separators, critical to keeping production moving in these operations, are subjected to extremely demanding industrial conditions, being under a constant onslaught of hydrocarbons like paraffin and asphaltenes, and inorganic solids like rock, sand, rust and heavy metal oxides. Consequently, this equipment can experience high incidences of interruption and repairs, impacting production throughput and operational costs.
Increasingly, refineries are now relying on powerful in-line dual shafted grinders to protect their costly downstream processing equipment. These grinders are powerful enough to grind down rocks, wood debris and paraffin sludge, to ensure pumps do not clog, and that liquid-solid separators and centrifuges receive properly sized content for separation, enabling them to operate at optimum throughput without interruption.

3-SHRED Food Composting Machine helping out with the BIG fight
The statistics surrounding food waste in the United States can only be described as staggering. More than 30 percent of the food produced for human consumption in the United States, valued at $162 billion annually, isn’t eaten. Even institutions like the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank , with the goal of distributing food to those in need, must tackle this challenge of wasted food. The food bank is now using a composting system from FOR Solutions which utilizes a JWC 3-SHRED Grinder as their food composting machine to facilitate the break down of the 2,000 pounds of tough solids food waste processed daily. The result is a reliable system to recycle the waste into nutrient-rich compost used on local San Diego farms. The food bank’s improved environmental footprint and substantial savings on hauling and tipping fees are among several additional benefits.
