Grit King® Advanced Hydrodynamic Vortex Separator Removes up to 15 times more grit than conventional systems. Product Profile The Grit King® is an advanced hydrodynamic vortex separator that augments gravitational forces to separate grit from water. The Grit King® is an economical choice for new or existing municipal or industrial wastewater and water applications. • New wastewater treatment plants. Advantages • No moving parts. • No external power source. • Retrofit to existing treatment works. • Grit removal for potable water. • Grit removal for sand and gravel extraction plants. • Grit removal for industrial effluent. • Filter media recovery. In Situ Separator Backwash Line • Highly efficient over a wide range of flows. • Minimal headloss. • Small footprint. • Low operating costs. • Can be installed as a freestanding unit or as internal components for installation in to a chamber. Overflow Outlet Inlet Pipe Centre Shaft Centre Cone Deflector Plate Concentrated Grit Underflow (to classifier or Grit Cleanse™) - Backwash Distribution How it works 1. low is introduced tangentially to the Grit King® via a F tangential inlet creating a rotational flow path around the outside of the dip plate. 2. The flow gradually spirals around the perimeter allowing the grit and sand particles to settle out by gravity (green arrow). 3. he grit collects in the grit pot as the centre cone directs T flow away from the base and up around the centre shaft into the inside of the dip plate (blue arrow). The upward flow rotates at a slower velocity than the outer downward flow. The resulting ‘shear’ zone scrubs out the finer particles. 4. he concentrated grit underflow is pumped or gravity fed to a T grit classifier for dewatering (yellow arrow). 5. hen used with a Grit Cleanse the result is a clean dewatered W grit with very low organic content.
