Aerated Grit Chamber
Aerated grit chambers are widely used for selective removal of grit. The spiral roll of the aerated grit chamber liquid drives the grit into a hopper located under the air diffuser assembly (see Figure 7.15.2). The shearing force of the air bubbles strips the inert grit of much of the organic material that adheres to its surface.
