The Grit Gradation Data Sets will help engineers, owners and operators design and optimize grit removal systems for wastewater treatment plants.
The regional data sets have been compiled from over 120 tests conducted across the United States and Canada and published on the Advanced Grit website, an industry resource for scientific research and knowledge of wastewater grit.
The Grit Gradation Data Sets will help designers and operators to estimate the characteristics, physical size and settling velocity of grit in their region, providing improved data on which to base the design of an effective grit system.
The data sets are based on real data from plants and provided for regions, states and provinces across the USA and Canada. The settling velocity is based on a Sand Equivalent Size (SES) calculation to reflect real-world variations in shape and specific gravity.
