Anaerobic sludge digesters are used to degrade compounds (in waste water that is high in suspended solids) to carbon dioxide and water. A schematic of an anaerobic digester is shown in Figure M14-5.

The time unit is days, and the inputs and outputs have been scaled to cover the same ranges. The outputs and inputs are y1 = substrate concentration, y2 = temperature, u1 = inlet flow rate, and u2 = heat addition rate (°C/day). The steady-state inlet flow rate is 300 m3/day, the heat addition rate is 10°C /day. The steady-state ...
