Optimum design conditions of rapid mixing impellers for an effective Water Treatment Plant operation were experimentally studied by thorough examination of parameters, such as impeller type and detention time. which govern the removal efficiency of turbidity. It was found that the impeller type is one of the major parameters governing the economic power consumption and the efficiency of turbidity removal. The experimental results showed that not only the velocity gradient G but also a new design guide. so called mixing energy per unit volume of raw water, could be used as a design and operation guides for rapid mixing in W.T.P.
