Analysis of photobioreactors in series
Mathematical Biosciences, 2018A photobioreactor (PBR) contains microalgae which under illumination consume carbon dioxide and substrate dissolved in water, and produce oxygen. The process is used in water recovery resource facilities with a continuous flow of wastewaster through the PBR. With several PBRs in series the reduction of substrate can be improved.

Considerable progress has been made in the past decade in developing the appropriate biotechnology for microalgal mass cultivation aimed at establishing a new agro-industry. However, until today economic constraints currently limit the industrial exploitation of microalgae for feed, food and biofuel production.

Online Biomass Estimation in a Raceway Photobioreactor
2023 IEEE 28th International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2023Microalgae reactors provide an efficient alternative for production of biogas/biofuel, nutrition/pharmaceutics products, etc. Among the many variables involved in the dynamic models, the biomass concentration is a key variable for monitoring and control purposes.

Photobioreactors for Microalgal Biofuel Production
2012Many different PBR designs have been proposed for biofuel production, few of them have been tested at pilot-scale, none developed at the (large) scale necessary for a complete and correct evaluation. Thus the main issues that impact on the reactor's performance (i.e., suitable construction materials, efficient mixing, heating/cooling, CO2 supply and ...

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.

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
