Estudio de distribución de tiempos de residencia en un reactor biológico de lecho empacado cerámico
Abstract
Residence time distribution in a reactor is a characteristic of the mixing process taking place within [1] [2] ; its determination is basic for the actual design of any type of reactor The objective of this research is the determination of the residence time distribution in a biological packed bed reactor using standard tracer tests. The results using the techniques of injection by step and pulse indicated and average residence time of 34.577sec., and 17.745 sec. respectively, and the calculated dispersion is infinite. The previous observation allows us to conclude that in a particular biological packed bed reactor the tracer molecules are distributed uniformly in the entire system. The tests were conducted on a laboratory scale unit.Downloads
