With about a month left of the semester, the team was asked to design a grit removal system for a potential plant to be built in San Juan Guarita. The plant would be integrating various new technologies into its 4 L/s design, along with grit removal. We decided on utilizing the last iteration of our design, the Channel GRU, for this plant design after considering all the pros and cons of each iteration. The resulting design was coded into the design code, and AutoCAD representations of the entire plant, including the Channel GRU, were drawn.
Figure 3.a.i. A zoomed-in view of the GRU, which is elevated above the rest of the flocculator channel (to the right). The red pipe is the pipe stop, the blue pipe on the left is the water inlet, and the blue pipe on the right is the LFOM.
