单种子和多种子对正态随机序列质量的影响

通常一个正态随机序列是由同一个种子生成的,然而实际上序列中的每一个随机数还可用不同的种子来产生。提出了多种子的产生方法以及连续调用随机数发生器时防止产生相同序列的措施,利用统计模拟和假设检验理论,采用四个不同的统计量从正态性、均值、方差、随机性这四个方面对单、多种子法在不同时间段生成的大量随机序列的质量进行了对比研究,结果表明,多种子法生成的随机序列在正态性和方差质量方面有明显的优势,而在均值和随机性方面,这两种方法的效果基本一致,故总的说来多种子法要优于单种子法。     

Heat and energy requirements in thermophilic anaerobic sludge digestion

The heating requirements of the thermophilic anaerobic digestion process were studied. Biogas production was studied in laboratory experiments at retention times from 1 to 10 days. The data gathered in the experiments was then used to perform a heat and energy analysis. The source of heat was a conventional CHP unit system. The results showed that thermophilic digestion is much faster than mesophilic digestion and therefore produces more biogas in a shorter time or at smaller digester volumes. The major part of the heating requirements consisted of sludge heating. The heat losses of the digester were only 2–8% of the sludge heating requirements. The heating requirements in thermophilic digestion are about twice those of mesophilic digestion. Therefore a CHP unit system cannot cover all of the needs for successful operation of thermophilic digestion. Heat regeneration was introduced as a solution. Heat is regenerated from the sludge outflow at a temperature of 50–55 °C and transferred to the cold inflow sludge at a temperature of 11 °C. Enough heat is regenerated in a conventional counter flow heat exchanger to bring the thermophilic process to the same level as the mesophilic one. Considering the smaller digester volumes and the relatively small investment in the regenerative equipment, the construction of thermophilic digestion systems may be a very good alternative to conventional mesophilic sludge digestion systems.     

Supercritical water gasification mechanism of polymer-containing oily sludge

In the offshore petroleum industry, polymer-containing oily sludge (PCOS) hinders oil extraction and causes tremendous hazards to the marine ecological environment. In this paper, an effective pretreatment method is proposed to break the adhesive structure of PCOS, and the experiments of supercritical water gasification are carried out under the influencing factors including residence time (5–30 min) and temperature (400–750 °C) in batch reactors. The increase of time and temperature all show great promoting effects on gas production. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including naphthalene and phenanthrene, are considered as the main obstacles for a complete gasification. Carbon gasification efficiency (CE) reaches maximum of 95.82% at 750 °C, 23 MPa for 30 min, while naphthalene makes up 70% of the organic compounds in residual liquid products. The highest hydrogen yield of 19.79 (mol H₂/kg of PCOS) is observed in 750 °C for 25 min. A simplified reaction pathway is presented to describe the gaseous products (H₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄). Two intermediates are defined for describing the reaction process bases on the exhaustive study on organic matters in residual liquid products. The results show that the calculated data and the experimental data have a high degree of fit and tar formation reaction is finished within 10 min.     

Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge in an anaerobic fixed bed digester

The anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge in conventional reactors requires a hydraulic retention time of around 20 days. By using a fixed bed reactor the hydraulic retention time was reduced to 3–7 days. Recirculation increased the removal of organic matter in this system.     

Characterization and effect of using rubber seed oil as fuel in the compression ignition engines

Vegetable oils pose some problems when subjected to prolonged usage in compression ignition engines because of their high viscosity and low volatility. The common problems are poor atomization, carbon deposits, ring sticking, fuel pump failure, etc. Converting the high viscosity vegetable oil into its blends or esters can minimize these problems. The various blends of rubber seed oil and diesel were prepared and its important properties such as viscosity, calorific value, flash point, fire point, etc. were evaluated and compared with that of diesel. The blends were then subjected to engine performance and emission tests and compared with that for diesel. It was found that 50–80% of rubber seed oil blends gave the best performance. Long run tests were conducted using optimized blend and diesel. It was found that blend fueled engine has higher carbon deposits inside combustion chamber than diesel-fueled engine. Utilization of blends requires frequent cleaning of fuel filter, pump and the combustion chamber. Hence, it is recommended that rubber seed oil–diesel blend fuel is more suitable for rural power generation.     

In-vessel composting for utilizing of municipal sewage-sludge

The amount of sludge generated from wastewater treatment plants has been increasing year-by-year as the sewerage service area expanded. The composting process is considered to be one of the best management methods to stabilize different organic wastes. The main goal of this investigation was to find the optimal ratio of the quantity of the organic waste to the quantity of the sewage sludge. The process of composting was carried out in the Horstmann bioreactor (pilot scale) for 2–3 weeks and then in a compost pile for 6–12 weeks. Seven experiments were performed, with different ratios of the quantity of organic wastes to the quantity of sewage sludge. The results enabled an estimation of the quality of compost and its usefulness and also the usefulness of the bioreactor to be deduced.
