Integration of the Ash-Based Treatment of the Anerobic Digestate in a Wider Valorization Process by Aspen Plus® Simulation
Description
Spreadsheets for the 7 scenarios investigated in the article: "Aspen Plus® process simulation model of the biomass ash-based treatment of anaerobic digestate for production of fertilizer and upgradation of biogas". A comparison of the following 7 process strategies is mentioned in the above article: Case 1 is the foundation case (labelled as untreated MD) that served as benchmark and it implied the production of MD using the original PSM of Rajendran et al. [11]. In Case 2 a stream of pure hydrochloric acid was incorporated at a 0.1000 times the flowrate of the MD towards the ionization reactor (1HCl:10MD). In Case 3 a stream of hydrochloric acid was incorpo-rated at 0.1176 times the flowrate of the MD towards the stoichiometric-equilibria reactor (1HCl:8.5MD). In Case 4 a stream of hydrochloric acid was incorporated at 0.1212 times the flowrate of the MD towards the ionization reactor (1HCl:8.25MD). The remaining 3 cases are built on Case 3 (i.e. considering the previous acidification of the MD with the dose of 3.18 mEq HCl/g). In Case 5 the stream of SSA (Table 1) was incorpo-rated at 0.0040 times the flowrate of the MD towards the stoichiometric-equilibria reactor (1SSA:1.76HCl:15MD). In Case 6 the stream of ash (Table 1) was incorporated at 0.0060 times the flowrate of the MD towards the ionization reactor (1SSA:1.18HCl:10MD). In Case 7 the stream of ash was incorporated at 0.0080 times the flowrate of the DM to the stoi-chiometric-equilibria reactor (1SSA:0.88HCl:7.5MD). Additionally, MS Word file summarizes the most relevant data: Table S1, Mass balance of the nutrients monitored in the Aspen Plus® simulations. (1/3); Table S2, Mass balance of the nutrients monitored in the Aspen Plus® simulations. (2/3); Table S3, Mass balance of the nutrients monitored in the Aspen Plus® simulations. (3/3); Table S4, List of the components in the PSM of Rajendran et al. [11]. (1/3); Table S5, List of the components in the PSM of Rajendran et al. [11]. (2/3); Table S6, List of the components in the PSM of Rajendran et al. [11]. (3/3).
