aquakin.aeration_energy(t, kla_history, volumes, saturation=8.0)[source]#

Aeration energy (kWh/d) per Copp 2002 eq.

AE = (S_sat / (T × 1.8 × 1000)) × ∫ Σ_i V_i × kLa_i(t) dt

Parameters:

  • t ((n_t,) save times in days)

  • kla_history ((n_t, n_aerated_tanks) kLa value at each save time)

  • volumes ((n_aerated_tanks,) liquid volume of each aerated tank)

  • saturation (float) – Dissolved-oxygen saturation concentration (mg/L).

Returns:

Aeration energy in kWh/d, time-averaged over t.

Return type:

float
