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.

Photobioreactors for mass production of microalgae
2013Industrial exploitation of microalgae for feed, food, and biofuel production is currently limited by several factors, among which those connected with large-scale cultivation are of the greatest importance. Photobioreactors (closed systems for algae cultivation) suffer from high energy expenditures (mixing, cooling, and embodied energy), while open ...

Photobioreactors with Internal Illumination
2015There has been an increasing commercial interest in phototrophic culturing of microalgae for all-year biomass production for food and feed supplements, as a source of valuable and bioactive compounds, and most recently biofuels. Indoor photobioreactors (PBRs) with artificial illumination make it possible to grow microalgae strains under well-controlled

[Laboratory photobioreactors].
Prikladnaia biokhimiia i mikrobiologiia, 2002Growing phototrophic microorganisms consume the light energy. These microorganisms most often suffer from light deficiency because of exponential decrease in the energy of light passing through an absorbing medium. Therefore, effective distribution of light within the cultures is needed for their intensive cultivation.

Energy Considerations of Photobioreactors
2012Microalgae have been proven to be a potential source for valuable compounds and fuels. However, photobioreactors are not optimized concerning economic aspects. The energy demand of the reactor could be in the same order of magnitude as the harvested incident solar irradiation stored as chemical energy bound in microalgal biomass.
