Waste and Water Treatment systems can involve numerous units of operation, which are dependent upon the source of water and it's specific treatment requirements.  As an example, prior to discharging waste water to a stream may require a neutralization or a chlorination step prior to aeration.  Other downstream applications might involve separation equipment such as a centrifuge or a water filtration system.  Each go beyond the scope of this discussion, which will focus on Flash or Rapid Mixing and Flocculation using Top Entering Mixers.
