Digester Volume Calculation Guide

The document calculates the required digester volume and dimensions based on retention time and input per day at different temperatures. It determines that at 100C with a retention time of 55 days and daily input of 20L, the required volume is 1.1m3 and the diameter and height are 0.65m and 3.3m respectively. Similarly, it calculates the diameter and height for 200C and 300C temperatures based on given retention times and daily inputs.

Calculate the required digester volume based on the retention time

At T=100C ,Retention time (days) recommended 55days and Input per day is 20L( From
Given Table)

L 1m3
Vt = 20 55days 1.1m3
day 1000 L
1m3 =1000Litres

Substitute the digester dimensions have a 1:5 diameter to height ratio i.e H=5D.

Volume = Area Height

h t =100 C =5D=50.65 m = 3.3m

At T=200C Retention time (days) recommended is 20days and Input per day is 20L
(From Given Table)

L 1m3
Vt =20 20days =0.4m3
day 1000 L
Volume = Area Height
