    Notes: The mixing of the anaerobic digester contents significantly influences the efficiency of this operation; in particular, hydraulic dead zones are extremely detrimental to the reaction kinetics involved in anaerobic digestion. An analysis of the relative importance of thermal fluid movement in the digester to those caused by fluid inflow and outflow is presented. As an example, these principles are applied to a digester at the South Bend Wastewater Treatment Plant. Experimental measurements, which have general applicability for the measurement of digester mixing volume, confirm the theoretical conjectures. Various types of optimizations can be attempted on this mixing operation. One such optimization applied to gas lift mixers, as employed in the South Bend Treatment Plant, is illustrated.

    Notes: Presently empirical expressions, especially the Monod equation, are used to quantitatively relate microbial growth rate to limiting substrate concentration in the solution. In this paper microbial growth is postulated to occur by a mechanism involving a mass transfer or assimilation process. The assimilation process is assumed to be substrate mass transfer limited and hence proportional to the limiting substrate concentration. The ingestion is assumed independent of limiting substrate concentration and only dependent upon internal reaction rates. The quantitative relationship between limiting substrate and microbial growth rate resulting from this mechanism is developed. Under certain limiting conditions this expression is shown to reduce to the Monod equation and under other conditions it reduces to the Lotka-Volterra relationship. This mechanism is applied to batch and continuous cultures and the results obtained are compared quantitatively with experiment.
