Primary Treatment

Screening

Grit Settling

Sedimentation
Screening
Protect the structure downstream
against large objects

Remove large matter which might

negatively affect the efficiency of
the treatment procedure
Bar Screen
Perforated Mesh
Rotating Drum

externally-fed

internally-fed
Static Screen
Grit Settling
Separate heavy particles
from the waste water

Grit (mostly inorganic solids)

goes to a dumpster which is
taken to a landfill
Grit Settling Tank
Grit Settling Tank
Sedimentation
Remove suspended solids
and floating material from the
degritted wastewater

Significantly reduces the load

on the aerators/digesters and
increases efficiency
