Dust Collection System, Monroe, Wisconsin
     
  Badger State Ethanol, Monroe WI  
     
     
 
While the use of ethanol fuel is definitely a positive contribution to the environment, producers must be ever mindful that the production process do no harm.

For that reason, Badger State Ethanol selected the experts at JCC to design, fabricate and install dust collection ductwork that would protect their best interests, as well as the environment.
  In total, more than 4,000 man-hours were expended to create a complex system from a combined 16,000 pounds of stainless (T-304) and galvanized steel.

Badger Ethanol reports that the system exceeds EPA requirements by successfully filtering more than (99.9%) of all manufacturing by-products.

Powerhouse Discharge Stack
     
  John Deere Harvester Works, East Moline, IL  
     
     
 
Few companies in the Midwest can match JCC’s ability to fabricate and efficiently install a discharge stack of this magnitude.

Measuring 90-feet long and 9-feet in diameter, this monster weighs more than 45,000 pounds.

Constructed from GR 50 steel plate that is 3/8-inch thick, the stack was carefully lined with vinyl ester selected for its ability to withstand acids at elevated temperatures.
  After JCC crews removed and scrapped the existing Powerhouse stack at the massive John Deere manufacturing facility, this replacement stack was transported in a single piece, craned into place and installed by JCC tradesmen in a single day.

In total, over 1,500 man-hours of labor were invested in the job.
