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. 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 (Stoich.), see Pressure...

      Hold, see Holding

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