✦ Synopsis

The design of continuous thickeners from batch tests is considered on the basis of' numerical simulations corresponding to both operations. The method proposed in other papers has been corroborated. The simulation has been carried out using dimensionless equations to generalize the discussion. The performance of the continuous thickener at non-steady state is studied following the evolution of the supernatant-suspension interface, the sediment interfam and the lines of constant concentration. The utility of the batch test for designing continuous thickeners is discussed. The bchaviour of continuous thickeners is analysed on the basis of the simulated results.

An extension of a previous method for designing continuous thickeners is presented. The previous method was based on data obtained for batch testing, where the discontinuity heights corresponding to the supernatant-suspension and to the top of the sediment are known at different values of time.

## Abstract The biomass productivity of cyclically operated variable volume fermenters has been investigated as a function of the initial volume and the feed flow rate. The results of computer simulations show that the productivity‐dilution rate curves are similar to those for a constant volume che
