Fotosintetica - Model GWP-II - Photobioreactors

The GWP-II is a low-cost photobioreactor suitable for pilot plants and commercial installations. It can be easily scaled-up from few square meters up to hectares. It’s suitable to fragile microalgae and respect to traditional systems allows higher volumetric productivities and higher biomass quality (lower contamination). Biomass production costs with the GWP®-II are comparable to that of open systems. As for the other GWP® models, the culture chamber can be easily replaced when weathered or damaged. Panels are hydraulically connected and the culture is pump-circulated in order to ensure a more homogenous suspension and a better control of the process. The GWP®-II is PLC controlled and a SCADA software is supplied for data storage, alarms message and remote control.
