JMS Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) Overview Presentation
Watch this JMS Presentation on the JMS Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System). Kerry Dissinger, Vice President of JMS, talks about the improvements that have been made to the plate settler design by JMS and why the industry has moved to plate...
How did CFD Testing help JMS Develop the Mega-VAC?
When JMS introduced the newly redesigned Mega-VAC (Hoseless Sludge Removal System) JMS did R and D on different styles of systems to choose the most optimal design. To test these designs JMS used Computational Fluid Dynamics testing (CFD Testing) to see which system...
Standout Features for the JMS Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System)
JMS has designed the Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) to be one of the most efficient inclined plate settlers on the market. JMS did this by improving and modernizing the overall design of the plate settler that has not changed for...
Paddle Wheel Flocculators vs. Impeller Flocculators: Best Choice for Flocculation?
Flocculation is an important part of the Water Treatment process. “Flocculate is a verb meaning to form flocculant masses, as a cloud or a chemical precipitate; form aggregated or compound masses of particles.” Why would I want to flocculate? The 1000’ view...
Plate Settler vs Tube Settler: Best Choice for a Sedimentation Basin?
Conventional sedimentation is one of the oldest forms of water treatment. It uses gravity to separate particles from water. In order to achieve the desired results in a conventional sedimentation basin, a large basin with long residence time is needed. Results in this...
Mega-FLOC (Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculator) Key Features
JMS has designed the Mega-FLOC (Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculator) to have all of the moving parts above the water line. This allows for plant personal to have easier maintenance and less down time. To protect the gear reducer and ensure...
What makes JMS Mega-FLOC (Horizontal Paddle Wheel Flocculator) Standout
JMS has designed and installed Mega-FLOC (Horizontal Paddle Wheel Flocculator)s for over 50 years. In that time JMS has made improvements to the design of the Mega-FLOC to improve its life span and performance. JMS has made...
