Grit Removal and Handling
Built Water connects engineers and operators with in-depth equipment guides and local manufacturer reps. Understand your options, specify the right equipment, and make confident decisions.
Mechanized rake system that travels across rectangular grit chambers to scrape settled sand and gravel toward collection hoppers.
Mechanical system using continuous chain-driven buckets to scrape and remove settled grit from rectangular or circular tanks.
Rectangular channel system using continuous chain-driven flights to scrape settled grit toward a discharge hopper for removal.
Gravity separator using internal baffles to create turbulence zones that drop grit while keeping organics suspended in flow.
Uses controlled circular flow to separate heavy grit from wastewater while keeping organic solids suspended.
Removes sand and heavy inorganic solids from wastewater using controlled air diffusion to protect downstream equipment from abrasive damage.
Removes organics from settled grit using an inclined screw and wash water to produce cleaner material for disposal.
Separates inorganic grit from organic material using inclined screw washing, reducing disposal costs and odor.
Removes grit from wastewater using centrifugal force in a conical chamber with no moving mechanical parts.
