Abstract:in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).A mathematical model was developed and validated to simulate the dynamic behavior of a UASB reactor. This model took into consideration all the biological and physicochemical reactions. Seven microbial populations were selected using Monod kinetics where inhibition terms were added. The overall biological reactions were determined by first evaluating the reactions for energy and synthesis separately and then adding them together. For each differential time int… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
