Anaerobic Treatment Design: uasb design parameters
reactor height soluble cod to upflow velocity soluble cod
Anaerobic wastewater treatment design data — process descriptions for 14 reactor types (UASB, EGSB, ANF, ANMBR, etc.), UASB minimum SRT vs. temperature, biokinetic coefficients (yield, decay, growth rate, half-velocity constant), acid/base equilibrium constants (KNH3, KH2S) vs. temperature, required bicarbonate alkalinity vs. reactor temperature and gas-phase CO2%, inorganic inhibitory thresholds for key cations and heavy metals, organic toxicity IC50 concentrations, and UASB feed inlet area and upflow velocity design parameters
