feedSetup {biogas}

Setup Details for Batch Reactors

Description

Information on bottle id, substrates and, inoculum initial masses for 12 anaerobic bottles with animal feed ingredients for substrate.

Usage

data("feedSetup")

Format

A data frame with 12 observations on the following 3 variables:

id

identification code, a unique value for each bottle in the dataset. Numeric with all values from 1 to 12.

m.inoc

mass of inoculum added to the bottle at the start in g, a numeric vector.

m.sub.vs

mass of volatile solids (VS) of substrate added to the bottle at the start in g, a numeric vector.

Details

These data are meant to be example data for summBg. Inoculum was digestate from a stable laboratory reactor (400 L) operated at mesophilic temperatures (38 degrees C) and a retention time of ca. 98 days Substrates were cellulose, wheat straw (WS), and animal feed ingredients (FI). Additinally, 1 mL each of a vitamin mixture and trace element solution was added to each BMP bottle.

BMP tests were operated with a total volume of ca. 400 mL at 38 degrees C.

Data in feedVol and feedSetup are from the same bottles.

Source

Data were originally collected by Soeren Weinrich and others at DBFZ in Leipzig Germany.
