Answer to Question #252012 in Engineering for angel

Question

based upon analysis of its organic carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen content, the representative empirical formula of C8H17O3N was developed for organic matter in an industrial wastewater, and, from the same analysis, the organic concentration was found to be 18,000 mg/L. For a wastewater flow of 350 m^3/d, what is the daily methane production from the wastewater in m^3 at 35°C and 1 atm and methane percentage in the gas produced if the waste were treated anaerobically? Assume fs is 0.08, the process is 95% efficient at removal of organic matter, and all gases formed evolve to the gas phase.

Answer 1

18000= X× 350×308/95

18000= 1134.74X

X= 15.863L
