This group contains all equipment types available in SuperPro Designer to host procedures whose main purpose is to carry out one (or more) environmental reactions (e.g bio-oxidation, chemical oxidation, hydrolysis, photolysis, nitrification, sorption, incineration, etc.). These types of equipment may include in their list of actions only one environmental reaction unit operation (with one or more reactions) and multiple Holding operations with or without the reaction operation. If one needs to use an empty environmental reactor vessel/basin (which hosted a reaction operation that finished early on in the recipe) to temporarily store an intermediate product of a recipe, of course, this is an option. Just transfer in the material and hold it until it’s needed to be transferred out later.
The currently available environmental reactors are:
● Well-Mixed (WM) Aeration Basin
● Plug-Flow (PF) Aeration Basin
The remainder of this section, is dedicated to the description of these equipment resources.
