Abstract
A simple model that simulates the Psychrophilic Anaerobic Digestion (P AD) of swine manure slurry in a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is deve loped and verified. The model predictions have been compared with corr esponding laboratory results. The trends in volatile acids and soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) accumulation as well as the methane prod uction rate were reasonably well predicted. The percent error of estim ate ranged between 12 and 37. The model is a useful tool to study the influence of SBR operating strategies on the dynamic interaction betwe en the acid and methane formers.
