Parametric sensitivity in modeling of anaerobic digestion

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A mathematical model for the anaerobic digestion process was analyzed by the parametric sensitivity method to determine the influence of individual model parameters on the selected output variables. The relative parametric sensitivity value indicated the most influential parameters in the process being yield coefficients and rate constants.
