The automated Septage Receiving System from JWC Environmental uses a combination of grinding, solids removal, washing and dewatering to remove unwanted rubbish before septage is allowed to enter a wastewater treatment plant.
JWC Environmental says that the pivoting auger assembly allows for easy maintenance and minimises overhead requirements needed to remove the auger from the tank. This allows for easy inspection and removal. It features an Auger Monster® screen with ¼ inch (6 mm) perforations that removes far more unwanted solids and rubbish than bar screens. The patented dual compartment compaction zone provides significant additional dewatering. JWC adds that the dewatering segment prevents material from wrapping around the shaft- a common problem with other receiving stations. Additional filters keep the spray wash systems operating trouble-free, even when reclaimed water is used.
The MonsterTrack™ control system is an optional feature for the Honey Monster SRS-XE that monitors septage flow and provides a receipt for haulers and accurate billing data for plant managers. The Controller redesign separates the controls that the driver needs to access from the controls the owner needs for operation.
"The Honey Monster SRS-XE incorporates a redesigned rock trap to settle out difficult solids such as metal and bolts while allowing the organics and other objects such as plastics and wood left in the flow for the screen to take out," said Rob Sabol, JWC's director of Research and Development.
The new rock trap is now capable of handling multiple trucks and the basket is easier to access due to the pop top lid. Inside the tank a high level weir protects against any ‘run-away’ flow - preventing material from escaping the auger screen.
