A novel simulation model, BK_BiogaSim for design of onsite anaerobic digesters using two-stage biochemical kinetics: Codigestion of blackwater and organic waste
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Asiedu, Nana Yaw; Morken, John; Ahmad, Addo; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The design of biogas reactors for blackwater treatment provides special challenges due to significant variability in blackwater characteristics, the complexity of biological systems, and the need, in many cases, to operate ... -
Attainable regions and fuzzy multi-criteria decisions: Modeling a novel configuration of methane bioreactor using experimental limits of operation
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Asiedu, Nana Yaw; Addo, Ahmad; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study sets out to develop an approach that couples attainable regions and fuzzy multicriteria decision methods for modeling optimal configurations of multistage digesters without using a kinetic model of the process. ... -
Biodigester Rapid Analysis and Design System (B-RADeS): A candidate attainable region-based simulator for the synthesis of biogas reactor structures
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Nana, Aseidu; Ahmad, Addo; Morken, John; Østerhus, Stein Wold; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Anaerobic digesters are seldom designed based on process kinetics, but rather on a combination of hydraulic and organic loading, which may limit operational performance. This study focuses on the incorporation of process ... -
Can the operating limits of biogas plants operated under non-isothermal conditions be defined with certainty? Modeling self-optimizing attainable regions.
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Tornyeviadzi, Hoese Michel; Asiedu, Nana Y.; Addo, Ahmad; Morken, John; Østerhus, Stein Wold; Seidu, Razak (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Uncertainty in operating parameters such as temperature undermines the reliability of using kinetic models in performance projections for plants operated under ambient non-isothermal conditions. This study develops a ... -
Integrated Model-Based Frameworks for Synthesis of Anaerobic Treatment Process: Optimizing Operation Using Reactor Networks
Neba, Fabrice Abunde (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:210, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Anaerobic treatment technology offers great potential towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals due to its ability to simultaneously breakdown pollutants, generate renewable bioenergy and recycle valuable nutrients ... -
Self-optimizing attainable regions of the anaerobic treatment process: Modelling performance targets under kinetic uncertainty
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Tornyeviadzi, Hoese M.; Østerhus, Stein Wold; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Despite the advantage of model-based design, anaerobic digesters are seldom designed using biokinetic models due to lack of reliable kinetic coefficients and/or systematic approaches for incorporating kinetic models into ... -
Simulation of two-dimensional attainable regions and its application to model digester structures for maximum stability of anaerobic treatment process
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Asiedu, Nana Yaw; Addo, Ahmad; Morken, John; Østerhus, Stein Wold; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Unlike high-rate anaerobic digesters that employ some mechanism to retain microbial sludge mass, low-rate systems use sufficiently long hydraulic retention times to ensure process stability, which becomes economically ... -
Use of attainable regions for synthesis and optimization of multistage anaerobic digesters
Neba, Fabrice Abunde; Asiedu, Nana Yaw; Addo, Ahmad; Morken, John; Østerhus, Stein Wold; Seidu, Razak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Anaerobic digestion involves multiple reactions, and when operated as a single stage, the process conditions are only suitable for all the reactions with no particular reaction being optimized, hence limiting overall ...
