Headworks refers to the unit operations that
are placed at the upstream end of the
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
These include the pumping station, flow
measurement, and a group of unit operations
commonly referred to as preliminary
treatment.

Coarse screenings consist of
debris such as rocks,
branches, pieces of lumber,
leaves, paper, tree roots,
plastics and rags
Fine screenings contain substantial grease
and scum
• Design Goal:
• Provide sufficient detention time for grit to
settle
• Maintain constant velocity to scour organics

Purpose:
1. To protect moving mechanical equipment
from abrasion and accompanying abnormal
wear
2. To reduce formation of heavy deposits in
pipelines, channels and conduits
3. To reduce the frequency of digester
cleaning caused by excessive accumulation
of grit
Designed to remove all particles that will be
retained on a 65‐mesh screen (0.21mm
diameter)
Settling Velocity for Removal of:
Allowance for inlet and outlet turbulence: 2Dm – 0.5L
where Dm = max depth in grit chamber
L = theoretical length of grit chamber
If the SG of the grit is significantly less than 2.65, lower
velocities should be used
