The functions of the grit and sand removal tank in a wastewater treatment plant is used to remove sand, silt, and grit from water. Grit (and sand) removal is often found in the headworks of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
In grit and sand removal tank, sand and grit settle down slowly at the bottom of the tank as water passes slowly through this tank. The settles sand and impurities are removed from the tanks from time to time. Grit causes excessive wear and tear on pumps and other plant equipment.
