Building a new PBR @ Shredder 3
Shredder said just a few hours ago that he plants to build a PBR.I just remembered this

Aathmika's Notes
- When do algae fuels become a commercial reality?? - 7 years ago
- KV Subramaniam, president and CEO, Reliance Life Sciences, explains that the biggest challenge for biofuel producers is the availability and the price of feedstock. He adds that biofuel being a nascent industry can thrive only with adequate support from the government. - 10 years ago
- Regarding creation of ethanol from seaweed, PK Ghosh, director, CSMCRI, says, %u201CKappaphycus (red algae) cultivation in the sea to raise sugarcane productivity has opened up an opportunity to sequester carbon in a most efficient and sustainable manner, with unprecedented energy output to input ratio. - 10 years ago
- Sapphire Energy says that its Algae-based fuels emit approximately two-thirds less CO2 than petroleum-based fuels. How is it possible ? - 10 years ago
If you are serious about building a pbr, you need to be having people with the following expertise
Photoreactor kinetics
Thorough knowledge of viscosity, velocity, laminar and turbulent flow
Fluid flow mechanics, thermodynamics
Ability to use theory in wavelenghth, brightness, light in general
Heat transfer, mass transfer, material balance, light transfer,
Biology of the cell
Chemistry, maths and physics fundas
Pulsed light (LED and electric discharge) source design
Optics & photonics - analysis & design
Pulsed power development
Processes & product design
Research & development
Photoreactor ideation, invention, and IP development
OK I have not built a PBR nor even dreamt of it.
there are experts like Andres, George, Mia Alan, Veronica etc who can add to my suggestion.
My suggestion is purely from the academic point of view.
