Kinetic Well-Mixed (WM) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation Procedure

Overview

A Kinetic Well-Mixed (WM) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation Procedure can be created by selecting the following menu option:
Unit Procedures } Continuous Reaction } Environmental Reaction } Kinetic } WM Aerobic BioOxidation

AerationBasin00010.bmp

 

Operating Mode

Continuous or Semi-Continuous

Host Equipment

Well-Mixed (WM) Aeration Basin

Emissions Port (Vent)

Yes

Special Input/Output Ports

Yes

 

 

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 well-mixed 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.

Special Inputs / Outputs

      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.

Operations

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

      Bio-Oxidize (Kinetic.), see Kinetic Well-Mixed (WM) Aerobic Bio-Oxidation

      Hold, see Holding

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