Microalgal biomass surface productivity optimization based on a photobioreactor model
In this paper we predict and optimize the biomass surface productivity of microalgae in continuous culture under a constant light source. Surface biomass is identified as a key variable for assessing productivity: we provide both a mathematical and intuitive explanation. For reaching maximal productivities, biomass surface concentration must be such that growth at the culture bottom (assuming a...
متن کاملA microfluidic photobioreactor array demonstrating high-throughput screening for microalgal oil production.
Microalgae are envisioned as a future source of renewable oil. The feasibility of producing high-value biomolecules from microalgae is strongly dependent on developing strains with increased productivity and environmental tolerance, understanding algal gene regulation, and optimizing growth conditions for higher production of target molecules. We present a high-throughput microfluidic microalga...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Tubular photobioreactor design for algal cultures.
Principles of fluid mechanics, gas-liquid mass transfer, and irradiance controlled algal growth are integrated into a method for designing tubular photobioreactors in which the culture is circulated by an airlift pump. A 0.2 m(3) photobioreactor designed using the proposed approach was proved in continuous outdoor culture of the microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The culture performance was a...
متن کاملEstimation of microalgal photobioreactor production based on total inorganic carbon in the medium
Microalgae biotechnology has been focusing on the use of algae in the production of high value compounds. During the last few decades, the intense research effort has been aiming at improving new controls and supervising tools as well as on a good process understanding. This requirement involves a large diversity and a better accessibility to process measurements. Probes or sensors are required...
