Question

Problem 1. At Cookeville?s municipal wastewater treatment plant. influent methanol underwent biodegradation by autotrophic microorganisms during wastewater treatment process in a completely anaerobic reactor to produce methane, carbon dioxide and water as the effluent. (a) Write a balanced biochemical reaction for the biochemical process. (b) Draw a simple diagram of the anaerobic reactor and label It with appropriate variables for flow rates and compositions. (C) Using your balanced biochemical reaction in (a). what will the bio production rates be for each of the product species, assuming autotrophs in the reactor degraded the substrate at the rate of 0.1 kg/hr Report all your results with units of kg/hr.
