SANTA ANA, CA, AUG 29, 2017 --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.
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. The technology features the ability to cut wipes in such a manner that keeps them from forming pump killing rag balls. 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 award represents the fifth WEF Innovative Technology for JWC Environmental.
