A flocculator is 16 ft (4.88 m) deep, 40 ft (12.2 m) wide, and 80 ft (24.4 m) long. The flow of the water plant is 13 mgd (20 cfs, 0.566 m³/s). Rotating paddles are supported parallel to four horizontal shafts. The rotating speed is 2 rpm. The centre line of the paddles is 5.5 ft (1.68 m) from the shaft (mid-depth of the basin).
