Current Research Focus

Maybe link to goals and objectives
  • Commission of 100 L photobioreactor (PBR) system
  • Design and construction of 1m3 PBR
  • Flashing light and light spectrum optimization studies
  • Mass gas transfer between phases
  • Nutrient optimization
  • Renewable energy integration
  • Algae harvesting operations
  • PBR operational optimization strategies
  • Application of machine language (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for cultivation optimization
  • PBR system energy management optimization
  • Protein extraction research
  • Food recipe development
  • Process automation

This project aims to scale to a commercial level of a 10m3 and to fully automate and optimize system processes from cultivation through to harvesting, drying, and storage.

The next step in scale up operations will be to design / construct a 1m3 PBR algae cultivation platform.

Increase yield

Therefore, research efforts must include emphasis on reducing the energy input costs.
