Aerated Grit Chamber Volume Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Simple grit chamber calculator tool that helps you to calculate volume of typical aerated grit chamber. In aerated grit chamber systems, air introduced along one side near the bottom causes a spiral roll velocity pattern perpendicular to the flow through the tank.

Volume of Aerated Grit Chamber Calculation

Peak flow rate (gal/day) :
Detention time (min) :
Volume [V] (ft3) :

Formula:

V (ft3) = (peak flow rate (gal/day) × detention time (min) ) / (7.48 gal/ft3) × (24 h/d) × (60 min/h)
