✦ Synopsis

Kynch's theory of sedimentation is adopted to solve for the attainable steady state concentration in a vertical continuous sedimentation basin incorporating a thickener and a clarifier. The limiting flux solution corresponding to the local minimum at the flux concentration curve is proved to have a limited range of validity and is shown to apply only to the intermediate range of feed concentrations. This limit is replaced by a five-region diagram; the solution is determined by the feed coordinates in the flux concentration plane, with respect to the flux concentration curve. Each section exhibits different characteristic solutions for both the clarifier and the thickener.

The analysis, which combines dispersion, dynamics, and stability considerations, reveals new possible ranges of operating conditions where the flux exceeds the limiting flux and solids are not entrained. The results, contradicting previous published work, are verified by a finitedifference dynamic simulator.

This paper is concerned with the solution of the population balance for continuous systems at steady state, in which the active mechanisms are nucleation, growth. and aggregation. A discretized population balance, initially proposed by Hounslow et al. (1988a) for batch systems, is adapted for use wi

## Abstract The design, characterization, and performance of a bioreactor‐settler system that allows the partial biological oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds is described. The design incorporates the physical separation of the aeration from the bioreactor. The reactor has a dynamic flow zone an
