Grit Removal – PISTA®

The prevailing method of grit removal globally is the vortex grit chamber – the PISTA^® unit. Smith & Loveless research and development engineers have dramatically improved the original PISTA^® Grit Chamber design. This has led to several patents on the design by Smith & Loveless, including a flat bottom in the grit removal chamber, an inlet baffle with a coanda ramp and redesigned rotating propeller, all of which work together to enhance flow conditions.

There are more than 4000 PISTA^® Systems installed worldwide and Smith & Loveless is the world leader in this technology.
