Learn About PISTA® Vortex Grit Removal. Grit Removal. Grit removal is a crucial process in wastewater treatment that plays a vital role in enhancing the efficiency and longevity of treatment systems. As wastewater flows into treatment plants, it often carries a variety of solid particles, including sand, gravel, and other abrasive materials ...

Removing grit reduces accumulation in downstream basins, channels and piping, thus preventing excess wear and abrasion on mechanical equipment and reduction of basin volumes and …

Grit and other solid materials are a costly component of both process water and wastewater, clogging systems, reducing efficiencies and causing abrasion damage and wear that lead to increased cleaning, maintenance and repair. What is Grit Removal? Grit removal is the process used to remove sand, silt and grit from water.

PISTA® Grit Removal System Page 2 The flat-bottom PISTA ® Grit Chamber (Figure 1, Page 1) works on the principle of a forced vortex. The incoming flow is straightened in the inlet flume to minimize turbulence at the inlet of the chamber. At the end of the inlet flume is a ramp that produces a Coanda effect, which causes
