Introduction and Objective• Grit removal basins are the sedimentation
basins placed in front of the fine screen to remove the inorganic particles having specific gravity of 2.65 such as sand, gravel, grit, egg shells, glass pieces, gravel, grit, egg shells, glass pieces, metal fragments etc. and other non-putresciblematerials that may clog channels or damage pumps due to abrasion and to prevent their accumulation in sludge digesters.

Settling Categories• Type I - discrete settling in dilute suspensions,
grit chamber good example• Type II – flocculent materials in dilute
suspensions, primary settling basin good example• Type III (Zone or hindered settling) – high • Type III (Zone or hindered settling) – high
concentrations (>1000 mg/L), particles interfere with each other’s settling, secondary settling basin
• Type IV (Compression settling) – weight of particles cause more settling, sludge zone in clarifiers

Types of Grit Chambers• Grit chambers are of two types:
mechanically cleaned and manually cleaned.
• In mechanically cleaned grit chamber, • In mechanically cleaned grit chamber, scraper blades collect the grit settled on the floor of the grit chamber.
• The grit so collected is elevated to the ground level by several mechanisms such as bucket elevators, jet pump and air lift.

• The grit washing mechanisms are also of several designs most of which are agitation devices using either water or air to produce washing action.
• Manually cleaned grit chambers • Manually cleaned grit chambers should be cleaned at least once a week.
• The simplest method of cleaning is by means of shovel.

• There are two general types of grit chambers
1. Horizontal flow grit chamber and
2. Aerated grit chamber

Horizontal flow grit chamber• Velocity close to 0.3 m/s is maintained.
• Such velocity will carry most of the organic matter through the channel and will tend to re-suspend any that settle, but permit heavy grit to settle.to settle.
• Therefore velocity in the grit chamber shall be neither too low as to cause settling of lighter organic particles nor should be so high as not to cause the settlement of entire silt and grit present in the sewage.

• Length – 10 to 18 m
• Depth of liquid – 1 to 1.3 m
• Velocity is controlled by means of velocity control device.

Design criteria1. Settling Velocity:- is given by
Stoke’s Law for laminar flow:
vs = g(ρp – ρw)dp2/18µ
v = g(G – 1)d 2/18υvs = g(Gs– 1)dp2/18υ
Vs = settling velocity
dp= size of particle
Gs = Specific Gravity

ρp = density of particles
ρw = density of water
µ = dynamic viscosity
υ = µ/ ρw = kinematic viscosity
g = Gravitational accelerationg = Gravitational acceleration

Disposal of Grit• The moisture content of grit varies
from 14 to 34 percent.
• Grit is sometimes washed after collection to reduce the organic collection to reduce the organic concentration which may be as much as 50 percent of the total solids.
![Page 24: L 13 grit chamber](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042501/55a6a70c1a28abee2e8b47fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Filling Low lying area.
• Incineration.
• Well-washed grit has been used on sludge drying beds, as a cover for sludge drying beds, as a cover for screenings, and as a surfacing material for walks and roadways.
