Grit removal
Grit removal is a critical process in water treatment plants designed to eliminate grit particles from wastewater.
Grit consists of small, dense particles like sand, gravel, and other heavy solids that can cause abrasion and damage to downstream equipment if not removed.
The Grit removal process helps protect pumps, pipes, and other mechanical components in the treatment plant, ensuring efficient and smooth operation of the overall treatment process.
Aerated Grit Chambers
Description: Aerated grit chambers introduce air to create turbulence, facilitating the separation of grit particles.
Application: Aerated grit chambers are effective in treating wastewater with a high organic content and are suitable for larger treatment plants.
Tikal Advantages
- Equipment Protection
- Prevent Sedimentation
- Operational Efficiency
- Improved Treatment Performance
Grit Removal Features
1. Grit Classifier
Many grit removal systems incorporate a grit classifier, which helps separate organic material from the grit, ensuring efficient grit removal without unnecessarily removing organic matter.
2. Automatic Grit Collection
Some modern grit removal systems feature automatic collection mechanisms to continuously or intermittently remove settled grit, minimizing manual intervention.
