Reducing Emergency Sewer Repairs in Big Box Pump Lift Stations Caused by Non-Dispersible Debris

Case Study: Monster Manhole Reduces Emergency Sewer Repairs

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.

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.

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.
