Chapter 26, Problem 11CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process that would expect to yield more products from the same-size vats over the same amount of time.
Introduction:
The Vats are the large size containers used for growing microbes in the huge quantities, required for the high yield of many medical, industrial, and agricultural products. The vats used in fermentation are made of the stainless steel so that they can easily cleaned.

An activated sludge plant (CSTR w/ recycle) has the following characteristics: Influent
substrate concentration, So = 400 mg/L BODL (all soluble); influent VSS, Xyº = 0; effluent
3
substrate concentration, S = 10 mg/L BODL; flow rate, Q = 1000 m³/day; aeration basin
3
volume, V = 200 m³; reactor MLVSS, Xv = 4,280 mg/L; average, steady-state oxygen
uptake rate, Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) = 0.3 mg 02/L-min. The biomass viability (i.e., v =
Xa/Xv) was measured using the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) technique and found equal to
0.926. An aliquot of mixed liquor was placed in a small reactor, aerated without any
exogenous substrate addition (i.e., starvation conditions) and it's OUR was measured over
time resulting in the following data:

By use of the above data, the microorganism decay coefficient (b, day can be estimated if
you assume that a constant relationship exists between Xa and OUR,…

Explain the biological requirements for microalgal growth and the main system
components for a microalgal processing plant to produce biofuel. How is the
system design dependent on its geographical location?
A continuous microalgal production system is being developed using a raceway
design to produce biofuel from CO2 sequestration. Calculate the area of the
raceway (m²) to sequester 2000 tons of CO₂ per year if the growth rate is
75mg/L-day and estimate the amount of biofuel that could be produced. Clearly
state any assumptions that you make.
