Question

Consider the concentration of a substrate, Se, and the biomass concentration X in a once-through reactor at different dilution rates, D, from slow ones (such as 0.001 h-1) to very rapid ones at which cells and substrate dilute out of the system. Using the following values, calculate and plot the dilution-out curves for X and S (Excel may be used, but the calculation steps need to be shown for two of the D values). Si = 1200 mg/L, μmax = 0.5 h, Ks = 90 mg/L, Kd = 0.006 h, and Yt = 0.62.

Step 1

Calculate the concentration of Se in the reactor at different dilution rates: D = 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 Se concentration = 1200 mg/L Show more…
