Energy Considerations in a Photobioreactor
As one might be knowing,one of the engineering challenges in the algae biofuels industry,is the making of high performance photobioreactors. The challenge for reactor optimization goes into two directions, one is to provide optimal physiological conditions for the algae cells to come close to their theoretical photo conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 9-10%,the other is to achieve this with the minimum of auxiliary energy. In this article – http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-007-5479-9_13#page-2, the different reasons for the high demand of auxiliary energy is outlined and the points for further improvement are considered. I hope this article will be useful.
