  • effect of Sinusoidal Variation of feed concentration and temperature on the performance of a packed bed biological reactor a theoretical study
    Chemical Engineering & Technology, 1996
    Co-Authors: M.m. Hassan, Muhammad Arshad Seed Chaudhary
    Abstract:

    The performance of a packed-bed biological reactor has been analysed under Sinusoidal Variations of substrate concentration and temperature for zero-order, first-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The model equations were solved by the method of orthogonal collocation. The results show that the cyclic steady-state conversion is not affected by cyclic Variations in the feed concentration. However, cyclic temperature Variations with an amplitude of 20°C significantly decrease the mean exit concentration for zero-order and Michaelis-Menten kinetics compared to the constant-temperature case. The approach to cyclic steady-state conditions is estimated to be somewhat flower for zero-order kinetics than for the other kinetics models investigated. We conclude that temperature Variations during the day or changes in the performance of upstream plant will not adversely affect the performance of a packed-bed biological reactor.

  • Effect of Sinusoidal perturbations of feed concentration on multi-substrate carbon oxidation and nitrification process in an upflow packed-bed biofilm reactor
    Chemical Engineering Journal, 1997
    Co-Authors: M.m. Hassan, Muhammad A.s. Chaudhry
    Abstract:

    The performance of an upflow packed bed biofilm reactor has been analyzed under multi-substrate limitation by considering simultaneous carbon oxidation and nitrification reactions. For an inlet concentration of 200 mg 1−1 of NH4+-N and 50 mg 1−1 of methanol, the results show that organic substrate is consumed very rapidly near the inlet of the reactor while most of the NH4+-N is converted in the central region of the reactor. When the inlet concentration of methanol is subjected to Sinusoidal Variation, the exit concentration of NH4+-N also follows a Sinusoidal pattern although its inlet concentration was subjected to step input. However, the methanol exit concentration exhibits the typical step input response when the inlet NH4+-N concentration is subjected to Sinusoidal Variation. The concentration profiles within the biofilm reactor show that oxygen is a limiting component at the middle of the reactor when both methanol and NH4+-N inlet concentrations follow Sinusoidal Variation.

  • Modelling of simultaneous methanogenesis and denitrification in an upflow packed‐bed biofilm reactor
    Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Muhammad A.s. Chaudhry
    Abstract:

    The performance of an upflow packed-bed biofilm reactor was investigated by considering simultaneous methanogenesis and denitrification reactions under step and Sinusoidal Variations of feed concentration and temperature. For simultaneous step inputs of 20 mg dm -3 of NO 3 - -N and 60 mg dm -3 of methanol, the proposed model shows that major conversion of both the substrates takes place in the first half of the reactor. However, when the inlet concentration of methanol is subjected to Sinusoidal Variation, while that of NO 3 - -N is maintained stepwise, the exit concentration of both methanol and NOj 3 - -N follow a Sinusoidal response. On the other hand, when the inputs are reversed (methanol stepwise and NO 3 - -N Sinusoidal), the response exhibits similar behaviour. For Sinusoidal Variation of feed temperature the exit concentration profiles of both substrates also follow a Sinusoidal pattern. For methanol, the mean steady state conversion under Sinusoidal Variation is higher than the corresponding steady state concentration when feed temperature is constant at 30°C. The model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature.
