( First Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 August 1985, after the draft finalized by the
Public Health Engineering Equipment Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Co..ncil.
0.3 This standard was first published in 1973. The present revision
incorporates the following major changes:

IS : 7090 - 1985
0.4 The sources of power for rapid mixing to create the desired intense
turbulence are gravitational, mechanical and pneumatic. Accordingly,
the various devices used for rapid mixing can be broadly classified as:
a) Mechanical mixers,
c) Pneumatic mixers.
0.4.1 Mechanical mixers are the most commonly used devices. They
are quite effective, produce little headloss and are unaffected by small
fluctuations in flow. They are also amenable to variation in operation
by changing the rotation speed. However, they require electrical energy
and regular maintenance and supervision.
0.4.2 Hydraulic devices are simple and their main advantage is the
absence of any mecLanica1 equipment and hence may be preferred
where replacement parts are difficult to obtain. They also require very
little maintenance. However, they are less flexible and involve greater
loss of head.
0.4.4 Pneumatic devices and in-line blenders are not covered in this
standard as they are not generally used in India.
0.5 The Sectional Committee has felt the desirability of laying down
performance tests but has not found it feasible at the present stage due to
lack of established data and comparative studies in this country on such
units.
0.6 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international coordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries including India.

a) h1echanical
b) Hydraulic
i) Hydraulic jump
ii) Baffled channel
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.
2.2 Vane Mixer - It is a mixer where flat blades are used for mixing.
2.6 Detention Time - It is the time for which the water is theoretically
retained in the ( rapid m’ix ) unit. It can be calculated by dividing the
volume of water in the unit by the flow rate.
IS:7090 -1985
where
G ~ velocity gradient ( set-1 ),
P -- power input per unit volume of water in the mixer, and
U = absolute viscosity.
IS 7090 - 1985
3.1.3 Vane Type Mixer - This consists of mechanical device fitted with
vanes and installed centrally in a chamber. A typical illustration is
shown in Fig. 1. The inlet to the chamber may be from top or at the
bottom. When the inlet is at the top, levels should be so adjusted as to
prevent heading up of water ‘in the inlet channel. For proper function-
ing of the unit, the mixer should be designed in accordance \b..h the
guidelines given in Tab!e 1. To prevent vibration and wobbling, the
maximum unsupported length of the mixer shaft shall not exceed 3 m.
The rpm of the shaft is generally in the range of 60 to 100.

5.2 Baffled Channels - Where baffled channels are used, the channel
section ( neglecting the baffle ) shall be normally designed for a velocity
of O-6 m/s.
The angle subtended by the b&le in the channel shall be between
40” to 90” with the channel wall. This angle shall ensure a minimum
velocity of l-5 m/s whilst negotiating the baffle.
The main walls of the channel shall be constructed of brick masonry,
stone masonry or reinforced cement concrete finished smooth to avoid
growing of weed, etc. The baffle shall be made of concrete or brick
finished in the same manner as the channel.
A minimum free board of 150 mm shall be provided.
