    This document discusses the design of a paddle flocculator at the Cumhuriyet Water Treatment Plant. It contains calculations to determine the power requirements, paddle wheel speeds, and velocities for three compartments of the flocculator. The first compartment requires 1.73 hp and has a maximum paddle wheel speed of 4.5 rpm. The second compartment requires 0.34 hp and has a maximum speed of 2.64 rpm. The third compartment requires 0.085 hp and has a maximum speed of 1.66 rpm. Useful references for flocculator design calculations are also provided.
