Percent Stabilization Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Percent Stabilization = ((BOD In-BOD Out-1.42*Volatile Solids Produced)/BOD In)*100
%S = ((BOD_in-BOD_out-1.42*P_x)/BOD_in)*100
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Percent Stabilization - Percent Stabilization is defined as percentage of bod removal.
BOD In - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - BOD In in anaerobic digester design lies in its role as an indicator of the organic load present in the feedstock. High BOD levels suggest a greater concentration of organic matter.
BOD Out - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - BOD Out referred as the amount of dissolved oxygen exits anaerobic digester.
Volatile Solids Produced - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Volatile Solids Produced refers to the organic fraction of the total solids present in the sludge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

BOD In: 164 Kilogram per Day --> 0.00189814814814815 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
BOD Out: 4.9 Kilogram per Day --> 5.6712962962963E-05 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Volatile Solids Produced: 100 Kilogram per Day --> 0.00115740740740741 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

%S = ((BOD_in-BOD_out-1.42*P_x)/BOD_in)*100 --> ((0.00189814814814815-5.6712962962963E-05-1.42*0.00115740740740741)/0.00189814814814815)*100

Evaluating ... ...

%S = 10.4268292682926

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.4268292682926 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.4268292682926 ≈ 10.42683 <-- Percent Stabilization

What is BOD?

Biochemical Oxygen Demand is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.

How to Calculate Percent Stabilization?

Percent Stabilization calculator uses Percent Stabilization = ((BOD In-BOD Out-1.42*Volatile Solids Produced)/BOD In)*100 to calculate the Percent Stabilization, The Percent Stabilization formula is defined as a measure used in wastewater treatment to evaluate the extent to which organic matter in sludge has been reduced or stabilized during treatment processes such as anaerobic digestion or composting. It reflects the degree of decomposition of the organic material in the sludge, indicating how much of the initial organic matter has been converted into more stable forms. Percent Stabilization is denoted by %S symbol.

How to calculate Percent Stabilization using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Percent Stabilization, enter BOD In (BOD_in), BOD Out (BOD_out) & Volatile Solids Produced (P_x) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Percent Stabilization calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10.36585 = ((0.00189814814814815-5.6712962962963E-05-1.42*0.00115740740740741)/0.00189814814814815)*100.

FAQ

What is Percent Stabilization?

The Percent Stabilization formula is defined as a measure used in wastewater treatment to evaluate the extent to which organic matter in sludge has been reduced or stabilized during treatment processes such as anaerobic digestion or composting. It reflects the degree of decomposition of the organic material in the sludge, indicating how much of the initial organic matter has been converted into more stable forms and is represented as %S = ((BOD_in-BOD_out-1.42*P_x)/BOD_in)*100 or Percent Stabilization = ((BOD In-BOD Out-1.42*Volatile Solids Produced)/BOD In)*100. BOD In in anaerobic digester design lies in its role as an indicator of the organic load present in the feedstock. High BOD levels suggest a greater concentration of organic matter, BOD Out referred as the amount of dissolved oxygen exits anaerobic digester & Volatile Solids Produced refers to the organic fraction of the total solids present in the sludge.
