Figure 1. Photo of the attachment of the aluminum sulfate dosing tube to the top of the Rapid Mix Tube in the Agalteca plant. The wire in the left of this photo is attached to the Rapid Mix Plate; this allows for easier removal of the plate as the operator can simply pull it out of the tube instead of reaching into the tank to retrieve the plate.

Deliverables

*Modified MathCAD file to achieve target head loss using rapid mix plate adjustments
**This MathCAD file is used to adjust the rapid mix plate orifice number and sizing to create the target head loss through the plant. It can also estimate the head loss through the flocculator, a variable of interest, as well as adjust the allowable orifice sizes for the rapid mix plate based on the actual maximum flow rates for the plant, which likely differ from those estimated for the design.
