Smith & Loveless Pista Grit vs. SpiraGrit Understanding Vortex Grit Removal Systems!
Grit removal is a very important process when it comes to wastewater treatment because of the abrasive nature of the sand, stones, and other rough materials. The smith & loveless pista grit system uses a hydraulic design and propeller to create a vortex that separates heavier grit from wastewater. On the other hand, the SpiraGrit system from Lakeside Equipment Corporation utilizes revolving paddles to ensure consistent flow, which keeps organic matter light enough to stay suspended while heavy grit sinks down into a hopper. These are two examples of different methods of grit separation, each with its own unique factors involved.
