Photobioreactors for microalga Chlorella Sorokiniana cultivation

Abstract

This work presents various constructions of photobioreactors for microalgae Chlorella Sorokiniana cultivation. We studied dependence of biomass production rate on photobioreactor construction. We suggest special photobioreactor construction for pilot-scale biomass production. We explored the ways to use the obtained biomass as a source for lipids and carotinoids. We recommend to use waste biomass for obtaining of sorption materials for water purification. The spent sorption materials may be used as a co-substrate for fermentation of organic wastes.
