This procedure is used to represent the transformation (e.g., bio-oxidation, chemical oxidation, hydrolysis, photolysis, nitrification, sorption, etc.) of organic and other compounds in a plug-flow basin under aerobic conditions. Any number of reactions in sequence can be specified by stoichiometry and kinetics with a variety of kinetic expressions. The model performs rigorous VOC emission calculations for surface and diffused aeration systems.
● Feed: the designated input port for the feed stream.
● Gas Input: the designated input port for the source of oxygen.
● Gas Output: the designated output port for VOC emissions.
● Product: the designated output port for the reaction products.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Bio-Oxidize (Kinetic.), see Kinetic Plug-Flow (PF) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation
● Hold, see Holding
Note that operation Hold is only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
The following procedures offer a similar functionality:
● Plug-Flow (PF) Stoichiometric Aerobic Bio-Oxidation Procedure
● Stoichiometric Well-Mixed (WM) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation Procedure
● Kinetic Well-Mixed (WM) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation Procedure
