JWC Environmental’s Wipes Ready® Grinders Receives Prestigious WEF Innovative Technology Award

SANTA ANA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–JWC Environmental (JWC) has been awarded the prestigious Innovative
Technology Award by the Water and Environment Federation (WEF) for its
Wipes Ready Technologies. This advanced sewage grinder technology,
available exclusively on the company’s Muffin Monster and Channel
Monster products, is helping wastewater professionals worldwide combat
the problems caused by disposable wipes products.

In 2013, JWC Environmental took up the challenge of eliminating wipes
related sewage pump clogs. The goal was to stop forcing operators to
spend hours unclogging and rebuilding wipes plagued pumps that have
broken down, only to have this problem repeat itself in a few weeks or
even days. After extensive development and testing JWC introduced its
Wipes Ready Technologies in late 2014.

Since the 2014 release of the Wipes Ready Technologies, JWC has
partnered with municipalities around the world to install hundreds of
Muffin Monsters and Channel Monsters equipped with the new features. Due
to technology’s ability to cut wipes in such a manner that keeps them
from forming pump killing rag balls the results have been nothing but
fantastic. Utilities are reporting pump systems that faced weekly clogs
have not fouled in nearly two years. Others are reporting lower pumping
related energy costs due to pumps staying free of debris and working
more efficiently.

“Our customers were asking us for a solution to wipes related pump clogs
and we listened to their needs,” said Rob Sabol, Director of R&D for JWC
Environmental. “Through extensive testing and field trials by our
development team, I am proud to say that we can now provide technologies
that fix one of the biggest operational issues in wastewater today. Even
better though is the sincere thanks we are getting from our customers.”

The recognition by WEF is just one more demonstration of JWC
Environmental’s dedication to bringing innovative technologies to the
wastewater industry. The award represents the fifth WEF Innovative
Technology honor to JWC Environmental by the WEF organization.
Previously recognized technologies have include JWC’s Screenings
Washer Monster
, Auger
Monster
, and the Honey
Monster® Septage Receiving
system.

JWC Environmental will be highlighting the company’s Wipes Ready
Technologies along with all of its other solutions for municipal and
industrial wastewater at WEFTEC 2017, October 2-4 in Chicago.
