Delivering exceptional hydrodynamic separation in a single unit with no moving parts and no external power requirements, the Grit King® provides superior grit removal with low operational and maintenance requirements. Capable of handling flows as low as 0.25 Mgal/d (175 gpm (11 L/s)) with a single unit—and virtually any flow with multiple units—Grit King® is ideal for all sizes of treatment facilities.
Available as a free-standing unit, the Grit King® provides a flexible option for plants with small, elevated inlet works—a configuration that can eliminate the need for a grit pump—and if the turndown ratio is less than 3:1 grit washing and dewatering is also not required.
In addition to municipal wastewater, the Grit King® can be used for pre-treatment in potable water applications and for sediment removal in industrial wastewater.
Applications
- New wastewater treatment plants
- Wastewater treatment plant retrofit projects
- Grit removal for potable water

Cut energy costs
Energy costs are one of the biggest expenses that wastewater treatment plants face. While the Grit King® requires no electricity to operate, even more substantial energy savings are realized by protecting downstream aeration systems from being clogged by grit which significantly increases the power required to run the blowers.
Reduce maintenance costs
With 95% removal of 75 µm particles and larger, the Grit King® prevents grit from reaching downstream processes. Protecting them against the clogging and abrasion wear that results in increased cleaning, maintenance, repair, and replacement parts.
Get grit removal designed (and guaranteed) to fit your needs
Available in free standing or in-situ configurations, the Grit King® can be easily linked to your existing processes. Numerous inlet, outlet, and elevation configuration options minimize installation costs by seamlessly fitting into your existing plant layout. The compact design requires minimal headloss to operate and performance is guaranteed to meet your plant’s needs.
Get unparalleled performance in a durable design
Moving parts such as paddles and motors can cause maintenance nightmares, but the Grit King® is a low-velocity, all-hydraulic design in a single vessel with no moving parts. This provides exceptional durability while eliminating the wear, repair, and replacement parts costs inherent to other more conventional systems.
