Executing this production at scale and making this economical, vast installations like raceway ponds or extensive tubular systems are required. However, the efficiency of these systems hinges on a critical factor: the inoculum/pre-culture of uncontaminated, high-quality algae to kickstart production, and a lot of reliable inoculum is required to keep these ...
Instead of the conventional approach of developing fish outside in open ponds and raceways, on this device fish are commonly reared in indoor tanks in a “controlled” environment. ...
How to de-risk the scale-up process? We’ve all been there as a researcher or biotech professional. The strain of algae culture or microbes we are growing in our lab is thriving. It seems so straightforward and simple to culture, we believe we have it figured out. We easily create replicates in the lab at bench scale. We are now ready for the true test: scale-up time! Will this results we ...
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 ...
