Varicon Aqua & Academic Collaboration Varicon Aqua has been involved with many academic and professional research institutions over the years, adapting our developmental processes to the fast paced and dynamic aims of the research community. Each project is specific and bespoke, providing a range of challenges to our design team. Many of these design innovations find their way into the next ...
Several obstacles and limitations currently prevent the industrial exploitation of microalgae for feed, food and biofuel production. Photobioreactors (closed systems for algae cultivation) suffer from high-energy expenditures for mixing and cooling, while cultures in large-scale open ponds, which have a more favorable net energy ratio, are unstable ecosystems in ...
In this study, a novel optical panel photobioreactor (OPPBR) equipped with a V-cut/or flat optical panel (OP) and a light source, i.e., light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was developed. The performance of this OPPBR was assessed using cultures of Chlorella vulgaris. Growth rates of biomass were compared in bioreactors operated separately using a V-cut OP, or a flat-plate OP both equipped with LEDs or ...
