Getting The Grit Out With Hydraulic Forced Vortex Systems

For wastewater treatment operations around the country, grit can be a major problem. If not addressed properly, it can gather in digesters, clarifiers, and aeration basins, requiring time-wasting removal by staff.

Operations rely on grit removal systems to keep this from happening, but not every technology is made the same. To weigh the options, Water Online conducted a Q&A with William Flores, Vice President, Municipal Systems, at Smith & Loveless. We discussed grit, wastewater plant efficiency, and one option that has had dramatic results.
