The invention claimed is: 1. A fluid mixing apparatus for mixing a first fluid with an injected fluid, the first fluid flowing through a passage, at least one injection lance extending generally transverse the direction of flow of the first fluid through the passage, the injection lance having at least one aperture along its length to inject the injection fluid into the flow of the first fluid, comprising: an element having at least one turbulence edge associated with the injection lance to generate a turbulent wake to enhance turbulent mixing, wherein the injection lance is a square tube and wherein the element is a sharp edge on the square tube, and wherein the square tube has aperture at each of the sharp edges of the square tube and between sharp edges of the square tube. 2. The fluid mixing apparatus of claim 1 further including at least one square tubing header. 3. The fluid mixing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the injection lance and element form part of an injection grid. 4. The fluid mixing apparatus of claim 3 wherein the injection lance and element form part of an ammonia injection grid (AIG). 5. A method for mixing a first fluid with an injected fluid, the first fluid flowing through a passage, at least one injection lance extending generally transverse the direction of flow of the first fluid through the passage, the injection lance having at least one aperture along its length to inject the injection fluid into the flow of the first fluid, comprising the steps of: forming an injection lance of square tubing; positioning an element having at least one turbulence edge with the injection lance to generate a turbulent wake to enhance turbulent mixing, wherein the element is a sharp edge on the injection lance; and forming apertures in sharp edges of the square tubing and between the sharp edges of the square tubing. 6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of mounting the square tubing in a square tubing header.
