Volume of Methane Gas Produced at Standard Conditions Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Methane = 5.62*(BOD In-BOD Out-1.42*Volatile Solids Produced)
V_CH4 = 5.62*(BOD_in-BOD_out-1.42*P_x)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Methane - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume of Methane refers to the amount of methane gas produced, stored, or utilized, typically measured in cubic meters (m³) or cubic feet (ft³).
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

V_CH4 = 5.62*(BOD_in-BOD_out-1.42*P_x) --> 5.62*(0.00189814814814815-5.6712962962963E-05-1.42*0.00115740740740741)

Evaluating ... ...

V_CH4 = 0.00111229166666666

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00111229166666666 Cubic Meter per Second -->96.1019999999992 Cubic Meter per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

96.1019999999992 ≈ 96.102 Cubic Meter per Day <-- Volume of Methane
