[[File:OGS example.jpg|thumb|450px|Plan view cut out of a typical Oil-Grit Separator (OGS) pretreatment device. In this example, the cylinder chamber and weirs create a "vortex swirling effect", which promotes settling of solids in the bottom of the chamber.  In most OGS, there is also an oil storage chamber to capture light liquids and floatables. The accumulated sediment and debris is cleaned out regularly by maintenance professionals once the sediment in the chamber reaches the manufacturer’s recommended sediment maintenance depth or the floatables capture chamber is full.]]
