Grit passing through wastewater treatment plant headworks can cause substantial damage to equipment downstream, wearing out pumps and accumulating in downstream basins. Over the years, engineers and product manufacturers have tried different approaches to removal, with varying degrees of efficiency.
Capturing grit has been largely an exercise in slowing down the flow, changing flow patterns, creating obstacles to grit particles’ progress and various combinations of these. Now HUBER Technology has introduced a high-efficiency grit removal system that also helps take FOG out of the wastewater stream.
The Grit Trap GritWolf system has an aerated chamber where FOG is collected. A separate
