OverviewPVA travelling bridges for grease and grit removal are reciprocating bridge units designed for simultaneous separation and collection of floating grease/scum and settled grit in rectangular tanks used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The bridge runs on two motorized carriages and carries a surface scraper and a submerged pump; a central gearbox drives the reciprocating motion. An air injection system (not supplied) can be installed in the grit channel to enhance separation.
