Grit classifying

Sediments from the grit trap are introduced in the upper part of the plant as a mixture of grit, organics and water. Due to the low surface overflow rate virtually all particles are separated and accumulate in the bottom part of the tank.

Grit washing

Due to the introduction of service water in combination with a slowly rotating circulation system the lighter organic particles can easily be separated from the dense mineral particles in the bottom part of the tank. After removal of the organic material the clean grit is auto-matically removed by a screw conveyor, at the same time statically dewatered, and discharged into a container.

The removed organics are continuously discharged with the introduced wash water.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

In order to be landfilled, the grit must be further treated before. Depending on the size of the sewage treatment plant and the amount of grit, grit classifiers or grit washers are used. The state of the art is now the grit washer.

Due to the additional washing in the HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E, the organic content in the discharged grit can be reduced to ≤ 5%. This leads to possible lower disposal costs and volumes.

In municipal wastewater treatment, grit is separated in a grit trap. This separation takes place by sedimentation, i.e. the grit settles in the grit chamber after sufficient retention time. However, since there are not only mineral substances such as grit in the wastewater, but also many organic solids, these also settle to a greater or lesser extent. As a result, when the grit is discharged from the grit chamber, it sometimes contains a large amount of organic solids. This contamination of the grit with organic matter hinders, among other things, cost-effective landfilling or reuse of the grit.

Grit washing with a HUBER Grit Washer RoSF4 solves this problem and produces clean grit with an organic content of less than 3% loss on ignition, the HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E reduces the organic content to ≤ 5%.
