other two are directly calculated to give the user the optimal support for how to feed the reactor.
The unit for the OLR is related to the previous characterisation of the substrate (e.g., gVS/l/day,
gCOD/l/day).
After introducing the values for one line, the user has to press “Apply” in order to store the data.
The procedure is repeated for each individual reactor.
Discharging
The user has the possibility to simultaneously view another section related to the discharging
step by activating the hidden Discharging function (Show ↓). The previous discharging time will
be displayed and the user will be able to introduce the new discharging time and the discharged
amount. All data will be saved into the report generated.
If it is considered that each feeding is followed by a discharging step where the amount of
digested sludge removed from the reactor is equal to the added organic material, then it is not
necessary to insert any information in this section. In this case, the Discharging function (Hide ↑)
can be activated during the experiment.
