Volume of The Aerobic Digester Formula


Equation for calculate volume of the aerobic digester is,

V = (Qi × Xi) / (X × (Kd×Pv + 1θc) )

where,
  • Qi = influent average flow rate to the digester
  • Xi = influent suspended solids
  • X = digester total suspended solids
  • Kd = reaction rate constant
  • Pv = volatile fraction of digester suspended solids
  • c = Solids retention time (sludge age), d
  • V = volume of aerobic digester
