PS-4460-AU-S&G

Small inlet works system – ST Fine Screen with

screenings washer/compactor (Miniwasher
Dewaterer) and Grit Vortex Chamber / Classifier

Conveying Technology
Air Blast into sump to
stir up grit Air vent stack

Air into collection pipe to

draw up grit / water Grit classifier
Three way valve

The Grit System: Air/water/grit

mixture
Grit Vortex System
SPIRAC Model VG30
Design Flow – 310 lps Air from
blowers
• air lift grit removal
with duty/standby Concrete tank
blowers (By others)
• 3.0 m diameter
vortex chamber
• tank available in
steel instead of
concrete

Protective checkerplate
cover (By others)
Slewing bearing / Gearbox
assembly for impeller rotation

Grit and heavier particles settle

to collection sump for removal
by air lift pump, organics and
lighter particles retained in
suspension by impeller.
