Working

The Grit Chamber operates on the vortex principle.

• The stirrer maintain rotational velocity allowing grit to settle while holding organics in suspension.
• Sloped transition between upper chamber section(s) and grit well promotes grit settling to well.
• Grit transferred from grit well to tangential grit conveyor via pump where the grit is washed intermittently.
• Grit is agitated by the mixing device to improve grit washing process.
• The grit is discharged into the storage container or onto the transporter.

Advantages of Vortex Grit

• Construction is ideal for wastewater treatment plants with lesser footprints
• Does not require high capital costs low capacity STPs
• Increased efficiency by using tangential motion of the fluid
• Casing manufactured from stainless steel is reliable and durable
