GRITGrit is the heavy mineral material found in
raw sewage, and it may contain sand, gravel, silt, cinders, broken glass, small fragments of metal and other small inorganic solids.
Subsiding velocities or specific gravity substantially greater than those of organic putrescible solids in water.
Ex-eggshells, bone chips, sand, gravel, silt etc..

GRIT CHAMBER Grit chamber is the second unit operation
used in primary treatment of wastewater and it is intended to remove suspended inorganic particles such as sandy and gritty matter from the wastewater
limited to municipal wastewaterGrit chambers are provided to protect
moving mechanical equipment from abrasion and abnormal wear; avoid deposition in pipelines, channel, and conduits; and to reduce frequency of digester cleaning

HORIZONTAL FLOW GRIT CHAMBER
Velocity maintained is 0.3 m/sPermit the heavier grit to settle but carry
organic particlesTo maintain a constant velocity of flow, a
control section is placed at the end of the channel.
A control section varies with the c/s area of the flow in the section in direct proportion to the flow.

AERATED GRIT CHAMBERIt consists of a standard spiral flow aeration
tank provided with air diffusion tubes placed on one side of the tank.
Grit particles tend to settle down to the bottom of the tank at rates dependant upon the particle size and the bottom velocity of roll of the spiral flow, which depends on the rate of air diffusion through diffuser tubes and shape of aeration tank.
The lighter organic particles are carried with roll of the spiral motion

DISPOSAL OF GRITClean grit is characterized by the lack of
odourIt is included when detention time is more or
flow through velocity is lessDisposed by dumping or burying or by
sanitary landfillUnwashed grit acts a soil conditioner and will
give good yeild
