The AguaClara team is revising a design for smaller flow rates (under 50 L/s).   This page will document documents and describe the current changes in the Rapid Mix system.  The rapid mixer system sizing algorithm is presented is here.   We are working toward including AutoCAD images for the entrance tank and rapid mixer in our designs.  In Figure 1 , shows a layout of the design is shown below
