AES - Grit Removal Mechanism

Grit removal mechanisms are critical components in wastewater treatment processes, designed to remove grit particles such as sand, gravel, and other inorganic materials from wastewater. These mechanisms help prevent damage to downstream equipment by reducing abrasion and wear, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of treatment plants. The system typically includes a detritor and classifier mechanism, which can feature either screw or rake designs, ensuring effective separation and capture of fine grit particles. Their application is crucial for maintaining the integrity and operational costs of subsequent processes by preventing blockages and minimizing sedimentation in tanks or channels.
