Photobioreactors: Advantages & Disadvantages
What are open and closed algae culture systems? The two broadest methods of culturing algae at medium to large scale are split into two styles of system: open and closed photobioreactors (PBRs). A PBR is any device or system that supports the culture of photosynthetic organisms using light. There are photobioreactor advantages and disadvantages to both types systems depending on the goals you ...

Airlift Photobioreactor
The Phyco-Lift range of photobioreactors provides a robust laboratory or pilot sized solution to growing algae for commercial or research purposes (0.07 – 2.5 m3). The simple modular design allows for scale-up with negligible performance drop; and the reactor can be operated in either airlift or column mixing configurations, both of which allow for low shear, high turbulence and high mass ...
