Description: Inverted Siphons: Reduced Maintenance by Using Grit Traps
Inverted Siphons: Reduced Maintenance by Using Grit Traps
Abstract
In collection systems with difficult to clean inverted siphons that frequently fill with sediment, grit/gravel traps are a solution to save time and money to maintain adequate flow of wastewater. In California, the Oro Loma Sanitary District (OLSD) and City of Santa Clara installed grit/gravel traps to address inverted siphon cleaning challenges in their respective collection systems. In both cases, the traps have substantially reduced required cleaning time of inverted siphons, mitigated potential sanitary sewer overflows, and simplified maintenance.
