Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume = (Hydraulic Retention Time*Influent Sludge Flow Rate)
V_T = (θ*Q_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume refers to the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container.
Hydraulic Retention Time - (Measured in Second) - Hydraulic Retention Time referred as the ratio between the reactor volume and the feed flow rate, represents the average time the cells and substrates stay inside the reactor.
Influent Sludge Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Influent Sludge Flow Rate is defined as discharge of sludge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydraulic Retention Time: 4 Hour --> 14400 Second (Check conversion here)
Influent Sludge Flow Rate: 2 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_T = (θ*Q_s) --> (14400*2)

Evaluating ... ...

V_T = 28800

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

28800 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

28800 Cubic Meter <-- Volume

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Hydraulic Retention Time?

Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) is a measure of the average length of time that a soluble compound remains in a constructed bioreactor. The volume of the aeration tank divided by the influent flow rate is τ (tau), the hydraulic retention time.

How to Calculate Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester?

Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester calculator uses Volume = (Hydraulic Retention Time*Influent Sludge Flow Rate) to calculate the Volume, The Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester formula is defined as the total space needed within the digester to efficiently process the input feedstock under anaerobic conditions, allowing for the production of biogas (mainly methane) and the stabilization of the organic material. This volume ensures that the feedstock remains in the digester for a sufficient period, providing the necessary conditions for microorganisms to break down the organic matter. Volume is denoted by V_T symbol.

How to calculate Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester, enter Hydraulic Retention Time (θ) & Influent Sludge Flow Rate (Q_s) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester calculation can be explained with given input values -> 28800 = (14400*2).

FAQ

What is Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester?

The Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester formula is defined as the total space needed within the digester to efficiently process the input feedstock under anaerobic conditions, allowing for the production of biogas (mainly methane) and the stabilization of the organic material. This volume ensures that the feedstock remains in the digester for a sufficient period, providing the necessary conditions for microorganisms to break down the organic matter and is represented as V_T = (θ*Q_s) or Volume = (Hydraulic Retention Time*Influent Sludge Flow Rate). Hydraulic Retention Time referred as the ratio between the reactor volume and the feed flow rate, represents the average time the cells and substrates stay inside the reactor & Influent Sludge Flow Rate is defined as discharge of sludge.

How to calculate Volume Required for Anaerobic Digester?
