Set the J/S value equal to 3 (this is the optimal value and will be used for horizontal flocculation). Set S to it's minimum value of 45 cm (minimum for a human to walk through for maintenance).

$$
P{i_{JSMin}} = 3
$$

{latex}
$$
{S_{FlocBaffleMin}} = 45cm
$$
{latex}

{latex}
$$
{J_{Min}} = P{i_{JSMin}}\cdot{S_{FlocBaffleMin}}

Calculate the minimum flow rate for using the following equation:

{latex}
$$
{Q_{MinHorizontal}} = {P_{FlocChannel}}\cdot{\rm{ }}{S_{FlocBaffleMin}}\cdot{\left( {{{{J_{Min}}\cdot2E{D_{Floc}}} \over {Kp\cdot{\alpha _\varepsilon }}}} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}}
$$
{latex}
