An economical hydraulic mixer 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 maximum energy dissipation rate in the jet issuing from the orifice can be estimated by the equation
