Kinetic Anaerobic Digestion Procedure

Overview

A Kinetic Anaerobic Digestion Procedure can be created by selecting the following menu option:
Unit Procedures } Continuous Reaction } Environmental Reaction } Kinetic } Anaerobic Digestion

AnaerobicDigester00012.bmp

 

Operating Mode

Continuous or Semi-Continuous

Host Equipment

Anaerobic Digester

Emissions Port (Vent)

Yes

Special Input/Output Ports

Yes

 

 

This procedure is used to represent transformations of sludge and other compounds that take place under anaerobic conditions. Any number of reactions in sequence can be specified by stoichiometry and kinetics with a variety of kinetic expressions.

Special Inputs / Outputs

      Gas Output: the designated output port for VOC emissions.

      Product: the designated output port for the reaction products.

Operations

The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:

      Bio-React (Kinetic.), see Kinetic Anaerobic Digestion

      Hold, see Holding

Note that operation Hold is only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
