Question

Transcribed Image Text:A microorganism is grown in a fermenter under steady-state conditions. The
microorganism growth follows Monod kinetics and the following stoichiometric
equation:
C3H6O3 +a O2 +b NH3 → c biomass + d CO2 + e H₂O
Given that the biomass yield is 0.415 grams of biomass per gram of substrate,
determine the respiratory quotient.

The feed characteristics are asfollows: Influent substrate concentration, So = 200 mg/L; half- velocity coefficient, Ks = 50mg/L; maximum, specific substrate utilization rate, k = 5 g/g- day; yield coefficient, Y = 0.5g Xa/g substrate consumed; microorganism decay coefficient, b = 0.10 day-1.1. The process goal is the production of active biomass. Determine the hydraulicretention time that the reactor should be operated in order to maximize the reactoractive biomass concentration (Xa). How does this retention time compare with theminimum solids retention time that the system can theoretically be operated?Calculate the solids retention time safety factor.2.
