Abstract:Fine grit consists of inorganic abrasive solids. Failure to remove grit from the treatment process results in wear of mechanical equipment, grit deposits in settling basins, aeration systems, digesters, Membrane Biological Reactors, and sequencing batch reactors. Grit handling and disposal are increasingly difficult tasks because many grit removal systems yield a final product that is high in organic content and retains substantial amounts of moisture, making it highly susceptible to decomposition and odor gen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
