A Scale-up Design Procedure for Rotating Biological Contactors

A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...

Scale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review

Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...

Bioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction

A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...

Warming-up in USRPT

Some activities for in-pool warm-ups have been evaluated. An historically important study was conducted by Carlile (1956). It was shown that the passive activity of tolerating a hot shower for as long as possible prior to performing a maximal 55-yard swim produced improved performances in all subjects significantly more than in a control group (no hot showers). A passive warm-up is possible if ...
