Mixing, mass transfer and energy analysis across bioreactor types in microalgal cultivation and lipid production
Microalgae are recognised as a source of lipids for bioenergy, nutrients and pharmaceuticals. Photobioreactors, closed vessels for microalgal cultivation, are known to have high energy consumption due to mixing and aeration. Sparging is commonly used for mixing and gas-liquid mass transfer in photob...
