Removal system

round-breaking research project advances wastewater grit removal technology Our two-year research project with the University of Exeter has optimized our stacked tray design, and opens up new performance upgrade possibilities for our wastewater and stormwater hydrodynamic separation technologies.  Our Product Development team and the University of Exeter have completed a ground-breaking two-year research project to optimize the performance of one of our core wastewater grit removal technologies.  Combining optimization methods and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the project was able to derive new designs for hydrodynamic solids removal components that would have been difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional engineering methods. The research was part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), supported by the UK government’s innovation body Innovate UK, which began in July 2019 and ran until September 2021. It builds on years of collaboration between our Product Development team and the University of Exeter in the field of CFD. The core of the project involved the optimization of stacked trays that remove high levels of suspended solids in wastewater, with the primary objectives being to improve performance and reduce maintenance requirements.
