Grit Trap

Grit traps are highly efficient, low energy mechanisms that are an essential first step in wastewater treatment. With their sloping sides and a specially designed, slow-rotating impeller, the grit trap provides maximum separation of heavy mineral solids (grit) while rejecting lighter organic solids, which remain in the wastewater flow. Removing these heavy solids protect the rest of the downstream processes from the adverse effects of grit.
