JWC Environmental applications

Dairy Wastewater Treatment With IPEC Screens: Dairy manufacturers produce anywhere from 1-6 gallons of wastewater per gallon of raw milk input. This wastewater contains high concentrations of solids, oils, phosphorus and nitrogen.  Dairy wastewater treatment begins with screening out coarse or heavy solids that could damage process pumps.

Agricultural waste streams utilize a wide range of production equipment that requires protection from solids that can cause damage or shut down an operation.  JWC Monster shredders are an ideal solution for slicing down agricultural waste to protect equipment from damage, precondition solids for anaerobic digestions and prevent process pump clogs. JWC Monster shredders can easily slice through fruits, vegetables, seeds, meat, and trash in seconds to reduce agricultural waste into small particles.  JWC shredders are a perfect way to increase surface area and precondition feedstocks for anaerobic digestion or composting.

Grinding for CBD Hemp Oil Extraction: The extraction of cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp can be achieved through a wide variety of methods. It has been common within large-scale systems, capable of extracting CBD oil from thousands of pounds of hemp a day, to use liquid solvent systems with butane, alcohol, hexane, or ethanol. Liquid solvent hemp oil extraction systems often have lower capital costs but also have drawbacks which can include working with flammable materials and purity considerations with the finished oils. The use of carbon dioxide or CO2 extraction for hemp oil has more recently gained acceptance as a safer and potentially higher-yielding extraction method. CO2 extraction for CBD oil is not without its challenges which can include significant upfront costs and more sophisticated process control methods requiring much higher levels of operator knowledge.
