Grit removal system

July 12, 2024

Smith & Loveless Inc., the global leader in advanced grit removal system technologies, highlights the innovative PISTA INVORSOR grit removal system. Designed to set a new standard in grit removal efficiency, the PISTA INVORSOR captures ultra-fine grit particles down to 75 microns, offering unmatched performance across all flow conditions. With nine unit model capacities ranging from 0.5 MGD to 50 MGD, it boasts the largest ultra-fine grit chamber single-unit model capacities by any manufacturer.

Inspired by extensive expert CFD modeling and developed rigorously in actual field conditions, the PISTA INVORSOR combines the power of proven particle capture methods: enhanced settling by inclined plates meeting a defined surface overflow rate [SOR] with established hydraulic forced vortex technology to achieve industry-best, 95% grit removal efficiency down to 75-micron particles across all flows. The powerful combination consistently yields industry-best removal efficiency during low flow, average daily flow, and peak flow conditions. Performance is never derated even for wet weather events, which can bring as much as 40 times the normal grit load.
