Question 27.6: An anaerobic digester for Omega Three (Examples 27-2, 27-3, ...
An anaerobic digester for Omega Three (Examples 27-2, 27-3, and 27-4) is being considered as an alternative to alkaline stabilization or aerobic digestion. Determine the volume of the digester and the flow rate of methane. The following data have been obtained for this analysis:
Temperature of digester contents = 35°C
Influent bCOD = 5,000 g/m³
Design effluent bCOD = 500 g/m³
Design safety factor = 5
There will be no recycle
