Design, Construction and Validation of Internally-Lit Air Lift Photobioreactor for Growing Algae
A novel 28 L photobioreactor for growing algae was developed from a previous bubble column system. The proposed design uses the air lift principle to enhance the culture circulation and induce light/dark cycles to the microorganisms. Optical fibers were used to distribute photons inside the culture...
