Large-Scale Photobioreactors
PSI Large-Scale Photobioreactors are systems that create a controlled artificial environment for upscaling of photosynthetic microorganisms’ biomass production. Standard systems are based on flat cultivation vessel (25 l or 100 l in volume) whereas customized systems comprising range of various cultivation tanks that meets different customers’ requirements. The cultivation unit is operated by the stand-alone Control Unit.
- Flat cultivation vessel with a short light path for an optimal illumination
- Glass material suitable for steam- or chemical- sterilization
- Bi-color LED panel
- Precise control of cultivation conditions (illumination, temperature, aeration, etc.)
- Optical density and Chlorophyll-a fluorescence determination
- Variable cultivation strategies (pH-stat, turbidostatic, anaerobic, etc.)
- Further upscaling by PBRs cascading
- Compact design with wheels for easier manipulation
- Customized versions
- Online software control
