Determination of biomass concentration by measurement of ultrasonic attenuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental results are presented that demonstrate that ultrasonic attenuation can be used to estimate the biomass concentration of a biological suspension. The attenuation approach avoids the temperature sensitivity of established ultrasound velocity test methods, which have hindered their application in process environments. An empirical model is presented for the estimation of the biomass of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions based on acoustic attenuation, temperature, and frequency, and is compared with experimental results.

Fast reduction of blood water volume due to ultra-filtration via hemodialysis machine and critical threshold of blood water volume can result in clinical complications such as hypotension. When blood water volume reduces during hemodialysis process, the concentration of blood forming elements will increase. One of the methods for the monitoring of the concentration changes is ultrasonic speed m...
