Recommended for small to medium size plants. This requires highmaintenance and grit removal is not easy. In this plant, a crane is
used by an operator, which is an labor-intensive operation.

Grit Washing/SludgeDegritting System
Degritting dilute primary orsecondary sewage sludges
The SCS uses a very strongfree vortex and an acceleratedboundary layer to separateabrasives as small as 50 msand from organic solids andwater and concentrate theseabrasives in a slurry stream.Sand is then separated fromthe slurry stream anddewatered by the total particlecapture GRIT SNAIL.

Flow varies in a free falling weir discharge. For uniformvelocity distribution, the drop in the water surfaceelevation between two sections is expressed as follows:
where y = drop in water surface elevation betweensections 1 and 2, m;
x = horizontal distance between sections 1 & 2, m;y1 and y 2 = depth of flow at sections 1 and 2, m;
q1 and q 2 = discharge at sections 1 and 2, m;v1 and v 2 = velocity at sections 1 and 2, m; and(SE)ave = average slope of the energy line, m/m.

Design Example - continuedAssume water depth in the effluent box at the exit point(center of the effluent pipe) is 1.5 m; thus, the water depthin the trough at the effluent box, y 2, is also 1.5 m.
Allow 12% additional depth to account for friction losses,and add 15 cm to ensure a free fall. Thus,Total depth of trough = 1.54 m 1.12 + 0.15 m = 1.88 m

Operation and MaintenanceRequires well-trained operatorsMaximize grit removal efficiencyAdjust the air flow to allow grit to settle but preventorganic material from settlingUse swing type diffusers for easy maintenance
Trouble Shooting GuideRotten-egg odor, corrosion or wear on equipment:increase air supply and inspect the walls, channels, andthe chamber for debrisLow recovery of grit: reduce air supplyGrit chamber overflow: adjust pump controlsReduced surface turbulence: clean diffusersHigh volatile matter content in grit: reduce air supplyGrey in color, smelly, greasy: increase air supply
