Algae bioreactor - Wikipedia
An algae bioreactor is used for cultivating micro or macroalgae. Algae may be cultivated for the purposes of biomass production (as in a seaweed cultivator), wastewater treatment, CO 2 fixation, or aquarium/pond filtration in the form of an algae scrubber. [1]
Algae Bioreactor – Definition, Types, Feature, Uses
2024年4月13日 · Algae bioreactors can be used to manufacture biodiesel and bioethanol, provide animal feed, and reduce pollutants such as NOx and CO2 in power plant flue gases. This type of bioreactor is fundamentally based on the photosynthetic process performed by chlorophyll-containing algae using dissolved carbon dioxide and solar energy.
Algae Bioreactors: Advantages and Disadvantages
An algae bioreactor (PBR) can be described as an enclosed, lighted, algal culture vessel designed for controlled production of algae. Photo bioreactors, have several major advantages over open ponds, they can: Prevent or minimize contamination; Offer better control over existing conditions (p H, light, carbon dioxide, temperature).
Photobioreactor Design for Algal Biomass Production
In a previous fact sheet (FAPC-191 Algal Biomass Production), the principles of the photosynthetic microalgae cultivation techniques are reviewed. This fact sheet will focus on photobioreactor design and operation. Photoautotrophic microalgae can be grown in open or closed photobioreactors.

2014年12月31日 · In this chapter, after briefly introducing the basic components of a bioreactor, we focus on applications of bioreactors in algal growth for biodiesel production. Microalgae can be cultivated...
Wastewater treatment by algae-based membrane bioreactors: a ...
2024年11月11日 · Overall, algae-based membrane bioreactors have emerged as a promising approach for wastewater treatment due to their unique combination of algae-based treatment processes and membrane filtration. This review highlighted the physicochemical properties, advantages, and challenges associated with algae-based MBRs.
Recent Developments on the Performance of Algal Bioreactors ...
Cultivating algae in a bioreactor could optimize growth which leads to more efficient CO 2 removal from the flue gas. There are three main categories of bioreactors used for CO 2 sequestration: tubular, column, and flat plate.
