Airlift-driven external-loop tubular photobioreactors for outdoor production of microalgae: assessment of design and performance
F.G. Acién Fernández,J. M. Fernández Sevilla,J.A. Sánchez Pérez,E. Molina Grima,Yusuf Chisti +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is presented for designing photobioreactors with tubular loop solar receivers in which the fluid is circulated by an air-lifting device, which effectively combines the relevant aspects of external irradiance-dependent cell growth, oxygen accumulation in the solar loop, oxygen removal in the air-lifting device, and hydrodynamics of the airlift system that determine the flow velocity through the solar receiver.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanistic model of photosynthesis in microalgae
TL;DR: A dynamic model of photosynthesis is developed, accounting for factors such as photoadaptation, photoinhibition, and the "flashing light effect," and is shown to explain the reported photosynthesis-irradiance responses observed under various conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photobioreactors for the production of microalgae
TL;DR: The bottlenecks for the scale-up of the different technologies and thus of microalgae production are summarized and the obligation of adequate control strategies is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mathematical model of microalgal growth in light-limited chemostat culture
E. Molina Grima,F. García Camacho,J.A. Sánchez Pérez,J. M. Fernández Sevilla,F.G. Acién Fernández,A. Contreras Gómez +5 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model for light-limited growth of a continuous microalgal culture is proposed, which reproduced the steady states reached and the dynamic behavior of the system when the dilution rate was changed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for light distribution and average solar irradiance inside outdoor tubular photobioreactors for the microalgal mass culture.
F.G. Acién Fernández,F. García Camacho,J.A. Sánchez Pérez,J. M. Fernández Sevilla,E. Molina Grima +4 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model to estimate the solar irradiance profile and average light intensity inside a tubular photobioreactor under outdoor conditions is proposed, requiring only geographic, geometric, and solar position parameters.
