Detritor® Grit Removal
This System Has True Grit
The Detritor® Grit Removal system provides unsurpassed grit removal efficiency in municipal wastewater treatment plants.
This cross-flow system uses a collector arm to move settled grit into a collection vessel, ensuring reliable and efficient removal of abrasive, heavy, and insoluble inorganic grit.
The Detritor has true grit. It does the hard work for you, ensuring optimal plant performance while complying with maintenance and permit requirements.
THE PROBLEM
Efficient grit removal is critical for any wastewater plant operation. That’s because grit in wastewater can significantly increase operating costs, downtime, and maintenance resources. It can also lead to unnecessary maintenance and permit compliance issues.
THE OVIVO SOLUTION
The Detritor Grit Removal system offers an efficient solution for removing grit from wastewater. Its innovative design ensures continuous operation with little maintenance and low power consumption and head loss.
Because it requires only a shallow tank, the Detritor comes with minimal excavation costs.
With over 50 years of proven performance, the Detritor’s reputation for durability is unmatched. Some units have lasted over 45 years!
HOW IT WORKS
The Detritor Grit Removal system is designed for square, shallow concrete tanks with filled-in sloping corners. It consists of a rotating, center-driven rake mechanism mounted on a structural bridge spanning the collection basin.
Sewage enters the tank through adjustable vertical gates, providing uniform velocity across the entire width of the Detritor. The sewage flows in straight lines across the tank and over a weir with free discharge along the entire outlet side. Grit coarser than the desired mesh of separation settles to the tank floor, where it is collected by structural steel arms with outward raking blades and scoops, then discharged into a hopper.
