Grit and Grease Traps
Response Group manufacture grit and grease traps for small wastewater treatment package plants and large scale treatment plants. The large scale units are installed in an aerated rectangular channel (See Fig 1). Coarse bubble diffusers located near the base of the channel create a helical motion within the channel which causes the grit to settle to the bottom. Vertical slats located along the side of the channel cause the grease to separate and migrate to the quiescent zone on the opposite side. Grease is collected in this channel and is removed by a travelling bridge which is controlled on a timer.
The package plant units are suitable for smaller installations and are vortex type in a cylindrical tank. Radial rotation of flow within the chamber is created by an impeller and the heavier grit solids are collected to the centre of the tank and drop to the grit collection chamber. A scum skimmer is installed on the surface of the tank to separate the grease which is collected in a separate sump for removal.
