Grit is removed early in treatment chiefly to

  • A.protect pumps and pipework from abrasion
  • B.reduce the biochemical oxygen demand of the sewage
  • C.increase the gas yield of the digester
  • D.remove the pathogens present in the flow

Answer: A

Correct answer: protect pumps and pipework from abrasion

Grit is sand and similar dense inorganic matter, and it wears pumps, valves and pipe bends rapidly and accumulates in tanks. Removing it early is a mechanical protection rather than a treatment step - it contributes almost nothing to the oxygen demand and carries few pathogens.
