a) Wastewater characteristic

Infuluent flowrate Q= 500 m3/d

Infuluent COD CODi = 14612.3 mg/L OR g/m3
Solube COD sCOD= 8767.38 mg/L OR g/m3
Alkalinity ALKi = 500 mg/L or g/m3 CaCO3

Effluent VSS VSSef= 3873 mg/L OR g/m3

SRT>30 day, Almost 99% of degradable VSS are tranform

b. Calculation of methane prodution:

COD Removal = COD Methane-biomass COD Biomas COD
Methane COD = 6186126.59953684 g CH4 COD/d
Total CH4 at 0 °C = 2474.45063981474 m3/d
Total CH4 at 25 °C = 2700.92424770552 m3/d
Total gas production = 4155.26807339311 m3/d
b. Calculation nutrient requirement

d. Calculation of Alkaline (check again)

Only calculate when having full input or having expearence
The minimum alkalinity need at 35% CO2 2,178 mg/L
