An economical hydraulic mixer has been fully developed, showing opportunities for small improvements. The unit is an inline static mixer, constructed of PVC pipe fittings. The unit could be improved by switching to tab-induced vortex mixing.that generates energy dissipation rates in excess of 1 W/kg can be designed using a simple inline orifice. The orifice must be downstream from the aluminum sulfate injection point and upstream from the flocculator. The energy dissipation rate in the jet issueing from the orifice can be estimated by
