2. Estimate the value of kinetic coefficient at a given temperature T by using the following<br />

equations:<br />

Equation 6.75<br />

Equation 6.76<br />

where:<br />

k T<br />

= kinetic coefficient at T, unit<br />

T = actual temperature °C<br />

Based on the above relationships the temperature dependency of the kinetic coefficients can be<br />

expressed as shown in Figure 6-29. For the low temperature range, the default <strong>GPS</strong>-X<br />

temperature coefficient values were used for all the kinetic parameters. For the high temperature<br />

range temperature coefficient (θ2), the default values of 1.15 and 1.25 were used for the growth<br />

rate of heterotrophic and autotrophic microorganisms respectively.<br />
