Grit Sand, gravel, broken glass, egg shells, and other material having a settling velocity substantially greater than the organic material in wastewater Grit removal -to protect mechanical equipment from abrasion and wear; reduce the formation of deposits in pipelines and channels; and reduce the frequency of digester cleaning that is required because of accumulated grit. - to separate the grit from the organic material in the wastewater. This separation allows the organic material to be treated in subsequent processes.

Theory
All particles are assumed to settle in accord with Newtons equation :
The dimensionless constant ( ) ranges from 0.04 to 0.06. The Darcy-Weisbach friction factor is taken to be in the range 0.02 to 0.03.
In a horizontal-flow grit chamber, to assure removal of the grit and scour of organic matter that settles, three conditions must be met : i) the overflow rate of the chamber must be equal to the settling velocity of the inert grit particle.
ii)
the horizontal velocity must be less than the scour velocity of the inert particles.
iii) The horizontal velocity must be greater than the scour velocity of the organic particles.
Types of grit removal systems: horizontal-flow grit chambers detritus tanks aerated grit chambers vortex-flow grit chambers
Location Typically, the grit chamber is placed downstream of coarse screens or mechanical coarse solids reduction devices. They may be placed upstream of fine screens to protect the fine screen from excessive wear.
