A desilting basin, also known as a mud trap, is utilized for grit removal through the use of a grit-removal device such as a trap box or detritus chamber. This system effectively separates slime and sediment via a silt trap, sand trap, or sediment catcher. Key components include a grit catcher, grit chamber, sand separator, and sand collector, all working together to efficiently remove debris from water.
