Municipal Solutions

JWC Environmental screens, grinders and engineered solutions are used in big cities and small towns. From Barrow, Alaska to Key West, Florida, (even in Antarctica!) more cities rely on our products to grind up, screen out or clean-up solids so their collection system and treatment plants run better. Monsters are built to stand up to just about anything coming down the pipeline or channel and provide protection for pumps and downstream processes. We are a three-time winner of the Water Environment Federation’s Innovative Technology of the Year award: Auger Monster® (1997); Screenings Washer Monster® (2001) and Honey Monster™ (2003).

Pump Stations

Lift stations are uniquely vulnerable to wastewater solids. That’s why many utilities install Muffin Monster® or Channel Monster® grinders to protect pumps from damage and blockage. Muffin Monsters® ensure that pumps remain functioning.

Headworks

Operate a cleaner, more efficient inlet works. From our affordable Auger Monster® screen for small and medium sized plants to our larger Monster Separation System™, which combines high-flow fine screens with the amazing cleaning power of our Screenings Washer Monster®, we have a headworks solution for every size, shape and type of wastewater treatment plant.

Sludge

With three different sizes of in-line grinders, Mini Monster®, Muffin Monster® and Macho Monster, we can ensure your sludge process works at maximum efficiency by shredding rags and large solids into particles that easily pass through sensitive equipment like sludge pumps, spiral heat exchangers, belt presses and centrifuges. Our grinders also homogenize sludge for efficient dewatering.

Additional Solutions

Honey Monster™: an automated, self-sufficient seepage receiving system that screens flow entering the treatment plant
Bandscreen Monster™: approved and specified fine screen for Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) facilities.

Institutional and Industrial Solutions

Institutional Solutions

Win the war against vandalism – protect your sewage system with the Muffin Monster® or remove trash with the Auger Monster®. Whatever customers or inmates flush, the Muffin Monster® will grind it into particles that flow harmlessly through pumps and pipes. Our slow-speed, high-torque grinder can power through the toughest institutional solids, such as rags, towels, plastics, trash and even blue jeans and blankets.

Jails or Institutions

When people continually block-up the toilets and rain nasty sewage water everywhere, it’s time to get an in-line Muffin Monster®. Our Muffin Monster® shreds material so it flows easily and complies with the local municipality’s discharge requirements (most cities use Muffin Monsters® too!). Put an end to clogged pumps, paying for pumper trucks or paying municipal fines – simply add a Muffin Monster® or two to your sewage system.

Correctional Facilities

Correctional sites can benefit from our 30 years of experience designing wastewater screens for challenging prison applications. The Auger Monster® is perfect for institutions since it can handle long stringy material, such as towels and undergarments, as well as remove the trash that ends up in prison wastewater. The Auger Monster® also cleans and compacts discharged screenings to reduce odor and waste handling costs. The Auger Monster® is consistently specified by Federal, State and Local correctional agencies.

Additional Solutions

Monster Airport Receiving Station: an automated blue water (airline sewage) receiving system that processes flow before it enters the municipal sewers
Monster Fish Cleaning Station: sturdy, clean and reliable, for piers, parks or lakes.

Industrial Solutions

If solids are your problem the Muffin Monster® is your solution! We break up the waste solids that break down your plant. Our super tough dual shafted grinders take on industrial applications that macerators simply can’t handle. Our Muffin Monster® uses a unique low-speed, high-torque design to finely shred solids so they flow through pumps, pipes and other processes. We can also remove wastewater solids with the Auger Monster® or Monster Separation System™ family of screens.

Chemical Producers

One of our largest and broadest markets, we help hundreds of chemical companies keep their dry and wet materials flowing smoothly. From hazardous waste grinding to sludge and wastewater grinding, we keep a wide variety of material fl owing through their systems.

Food Processing

We helped one of Alaska’s largest fish processors grind waste material into a particle size that meets Federal discharge requirements. The efficiency and reliability of the Muffin Monster® has helped food processing customers overcome major operational obstacles and made it the only grinder many clients specify.

Fuel Refining

We worked with a large oil extraction company to develop an innovative way to efficiently pre-treat their feed material and protect their boilers. Several large Macho Monster 40000s grind up chunks of organic material, petrified wood and tree branches before the material flows into the refinery. This helps eliminate downtime and increase output.

Pulp & Paper Mills

The Muffin Monster® is legendary in the pulp and paper industry, and is typically found in sludge and wastewater pipelines which tend to receive lots of wood chips and tar balls. The Muffin Monster® and Macho Monster grinders easily reduce this material to manageable size and are known to continue running for years with little need for attention.

Rendering Plants

An Auger Monster screen handles solids removal at a wastewater treatment plant of one of the nation’s largest beef processing facilities.  This global meat processing company consistently specifies the Auger Monster for their wastewater treatment plants, so they can protect their treatment process and meet tough discharge requirements.

Channel Monsters®

The new, advanced design Channel Monster XD systems surpass all existing technologies in terms of performance, durability, maintenance costs and ease of installation.

Our system, which combines rotating screening drums and a Muffin Monster® grinder, accommodates high flow rates while grinding difficult solids to manageable particle sizes. Stainless steel perforated drums improve capture efficiency, increase flow, prevent material wrapping and provide greater strength.

Monster Separation System®

The JWC Environmental Monster Separation System provides a complete high-performance system, resulting in the best solids capture possible along with screenings of unparalleled dryness and cleanliness, ready for disposal. The removed solids contain up to 50% dry solids, are 80% compacted and are significantly lighter and cleaner than typical screened solids.

Bandscreen Monster­®

The system offers incredibly high capture rates and is able to remove a wider variety of solids, particularly small solids and trash, better than traditional screens. It is frequently specified to protect hi-tech Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) so they can run more efficiently and with less maintenance.

Storm Monster®

The Storm Monster is a high performance storm screen designed for installation in storm and CSO stations. During a rain event, overflow wastewater passes through perforated panels with 6mm holes, while solids, floatables, latex and trash are screened and deposited downstream of the system onto the wastewater channel headed to the treatment plant. Once there, solids can be removed and processed.

Chain and Rake Monster®

This highly efficient chain and rake screen system is used in headworks systems and storm overflows where large concentrations of debris are expected and is normally installed in gravity fed or pumped flow systems.

Finescreen Monster®

The Finescreen Monster incorporates a continuous band of stainless steel perforated panels (with 3 or 6mm openings) attached to heavy-duty stainless steel roller chains. The stainless steel rollers track in UHMW guides at the bottom of the screen, thus eliminating the need for sprockets or bearings submerged in the wastewater flow.

Grit Monster™

The Grit Monster vortex removal system is both compact and reliable, removing sand, gravel, shells and coffee grounds as wastewater passes through the headworks. The system operates over a wide range of flows, especially during peak conditions when a majority of grit enters the treatment plant.

Catenary Monster™

This highly efficient and robust screening system is suited for large flows, industrial, municipal and combined sewer system applications where large concentrations of debris are expected. The Catenary Monster is designed to provide quick removal of large debris in order to protect downstream processes.

Honey Monster® Seepage Receiving System

Screenings Washer Monster®

The Screenings Washer Monster is a self-contained, hopper-fed system used to effectively grind, wash, compact and dewater screenings that have been captured by a bar screen or other screenings removal device. The removed solids contain up to 50% dry solids, are 80% compacted and are significantly lighter and cleaner than typical screened solids. The unique process of grinding prior to solids separation removes virtually all the soft organics (fecal) from the discharged product, which reduces odors and landfill costs.

Auger Monster® Modular Headworks System

The Auger Monster is a robust and affordable wastewater screen which combines three of JWC’s finest technologies – a grinder, a fine screen and a compactor. It removes trash and unwanted solids, so the treatment plant runs more efficiently and life is easier for operators and managers.

Fish Cleaning Station

The Monster Fish Cleaning Station is the most efficient fish cleaning station available. It turns fish waste into small particles - easily flushed away.

The self-contained unit uses a powerful Muffin Monster® dual shafted grinder to shred solids, such as fish parts, cans, plates, utensils and fishing lures. This prevents clogging and protects downstream equipment.
