Abstract. Photobioreactors can be used to produce biofuels by growing microalgae in a controlled environment. The control factors are pH, CO2, light and nutrients. Among these factors, light is the primary source of energy for photoautotrophic microorganism growth. Therefore, the most important factor in microalgae production is achieving an efficient

Modeling of photobioreactors for remote microgrids
2016 IEEE International Conference on Electro Information Technology (EIT), 2016Biodiesel produced from photo-bioreactors can help replace conventional fuel sources in remote microgrids to develop sustainable, carbon-neutral microgrids. There is, however, a lack of proper mathematical models to study the operation of remote microgrids with photo-bioreactors.

Biofouling in photobioreactors for marine microalgae
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2017The economic and/or energetic feasibility of processes based on using microalgae biomass requires an efficient cultivation system. In photobioreactors (PBRs), the adhesion of microalgae to the transparent PBR surfaces leads to biofouling and reduces the solar radiation penetrating the PBR.

Photobioreactors for mass cultivation of algae
Bioresource Technology, 2008Algae have attracted much interest for production of foods, bioactive compounds and also for their usefulness in cleaning the environment. In order to grow and tap the potentials of algae, efficient photobioreactors are required. Although a good number of photobioreactors have been proposed, only a few of them can be practically used for mass ...

Abstract. A photobioreactor (PBR) can be used to produce biofuels by growing microalgae in a controlled environment where pH, CO2, light and nutrients are controlled. Light plays an important role in microalgal growth and production. How light attenuates with the PBR depth, different air flow rates and different biomass concentrations was determined ...

Continuous microalgae cultivation in a photobioreactor
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2012AbstractNew biomass sources for alternative fuels has become a subject of increasing importance as the nation strives to resolve the economic and strategic impacts of limited fossil fuel resources on our national security, environment, and global climate. Algae are among the most promising non‐food‐crop‐based biomass feedstocks.

Industrial production of microalgae is prevalently carried out in raceway ponds. There is, however, the diffuse perception that open systems have reached their technological limit and that closed photobioreactors (PBR) will prevail in the future even at very large scale. PBR are flexible systems that can be optimized according to the characteristics of

Photobioreactors for the production of microalgae
Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology, 2013Microalgae are produced today for human and animal markets, as food-feed and source of active compounds. Microalgae can be also used in wastewater treatment and they has been proposed as biofuels source to reduce global warming problem. Whatever the final application of microalgae its production is based on the same principles as light availability ...

Photobioreactors in Life Support Systems
2015Life support systems for long-term space missions or extraterrestrial installations have to fulfill major functions such as purification of water and regeneration of atmosphere as well as the generation of food and energy. For almost 60 years ideas for biological life support systems have been collected and various concepts have been developed and ...

Laboratory scale photobioreactor
Biotechnology Techniques, 1994A photobioreactor using three concentric glass cylinders, with a light source mounted on the axis within them is described. The space between two innermost cylinders is used as a waterjacket, while the culture of phototrophic microorganisms is in the chamber between the outer cylinder and the middle one.
