A model of the concentrations of suspended solids (SS) in the aeration tanks and in the effluent from these during Aeration tank settling (ATS) operation is established. The model is based on simple SS mass balances, a model of the sludge settling and a simple model of how the SS concentration in the effluent from the aeration tanks depends on the actual concentrations in the tanks and the slud...

Due to extended inundation, waterlogging and restricted below-ground aeration cause inhibition in plant growth performance. This study examined two different rubber clones, RRIM 600 RRIT 251, for below ground aeration. To evaluate the performance under stress conditions, net photosynthetic rate (PN), maximum quantum yield photosystem II (Fv/Fm) root elongation were observed. has a higher normal...

A full scale swine (300 pigs) waste treatment system, including a solid/liquid separation unit (3 m) with a solids holding tank (1.2 m) and a liquid holding tank (20 m), two anaerobic reactors (10 m each) in series, an intermittent aeration unit (20 m), a sedimentation/polishing unit (20 m) and a sludge dewatering bed (17 m), was used to investigate the impact of integrating an intermittent aer...

−Bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced by Acetobacter xylinum KJ1 in a modified airlift-type bubble column bioreactor, which had a low shear stress and high oxygen transfer rate (kLa). Saccharified food wastes (SFW) were used as the BC production medium due to its low cost. An aeration rate of 1.2 vvm (6 L/min) was tentatively determined as the optimal aeration condition in a 10 L spherical typ...

Biodrying is an essential part of the mechanical–biological treatment process that minimizes moisture content and simultaneously maximizes heating value for refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production. Although mechanical separation operates effectively in Thailand’s RDF production, high organic levels their degradation cause contamination RDF, producing wet RDF. Aeration effective biodrying process, ...

The effects of the initial pH and air supply on the production of ethanol from D-xylose using the yeast Candida shehatae in a batch reactor were investigated. The initial pH was altered within the range of 2.5-6.5 and the specific aeration rate from 0.0-0.3 vv-1 min-1. The results showed that the most favorable initial pH for ethanol production was 4.5 and aeration via the stirring vortex of th...

Ten isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans were screened for the highest production of pullulan and minimal melanin production from Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. The optimum conditions for continuous culture were studied; temperature was 24°C, while pH 5.0, and agitation speed was at 500 rpm, while the aeration rate was 2.5 vvm and the best flow rate was 1 L/ 24 h. The maximum production of pullulan ...

recently, the production of biosurfactants in bioreactors and their use in various pharmaceutical,chemical and food industries have been developed. optimum production is directly related to the physicochemicalcondition of culture medium (such as ph and temperature) and engineering parameters of bioreactors (such asaeration rate, volume of operation and the amount of energy input). understanding...
