Lecture brief

Historical brief

Streeter–Phelps (1925) oxygen sag, settling theory and Guldberg–Waage kinetics made water and air quality a rate problem. The lab computes sag, overflow and a snapshot of reactor mass balance. This sheet (ENV-23 — ADM1 growth snapshot) is the form associated with Batstone ADM1. Working symbols: $\mu_m$ , $S$ , $K_S$ , $K_I$ , $I$ $\rightarrow$ $\mu$ . ADM1 uses hyperbolic uptake for anaerobic digestion, multiplied by an inhibition term for pH, NH3 or H2.

\mu=\mu_m\dfrac{S}{K_S+S}\dfrac{K_I}{K_I+I}

μ = μm S/(Ks+S) · KI/(KI+I). Monod with non-competitive inhibition. Use it when a real environmental question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

\mu_m = 0.400\,\mathrm{1/d}

S = 2.000\,\mathrm{kg/m^{3}}

K_S = 0.500\,\mathrm{kg/m^{3}}

K_I = 0.050\,\mathrm{kg/m^{3}}

I = 0.010\,\mathrm{kg/m^{3}}

, the governing relation

\mu=\mu_m\dfrac{S}{K_S+S}\dfrac{K_I}{K_I+I}

yields

\mu = 0.2667\,\mathrm{1/d}
