Storie section

The following products may be used for microalgae cultivation in autotrophic “greenhouse” settings, relying in part or completely on ambient light conditions, or fully utilizing LED lighting. Potential also for mixotrophic / heterotrophic cultivation.

Multiple Photobioreactors (PBRs) or reactor tubes makes it possible to conduct multiple optimization experiments simultaneously…. compare harvesting strategies, growth rates, monitor CO2 uptake and so much more…

  • Reduce / eliminate culture crashes.
  • Minimize maintenance / fouling.
  • Automate process functions.
  • Set light / dark cycles.
  • Change mass gas transfer rates.
  • Set operating schedules.
  • Track energy use.
  • Keep cultures axenic.
  • Monitor culture changes by parameter in real-time graphs 
  • Run in batch or continuous cultivation modes.

RESEARCH

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.
