Rapid Mix Tube

Abstract

During the fall 2009 semester, the main focus of the Rapid Mix Tube subteam was the development and design of a rapid mix tube system to provide adequate large and small-scale mixing of the aluminum sulfate dose with the raw water source entering the plant. The system developed in the fall 2009 semester is designed for the Agalteca plant, but the ultimate design can be modified to fit into future AguaClara plants. The design of the system evolved multiple times throughout the semester, and the current system was developed to improve upon the main problem of those initial designs: access to the small scale rapid mix orifice to clean it in case of clogging. The design of the tube was thus tailored to fix this problem, and a MathCAD file calculating orifice sizes and head loss through the system was developed.
