Maintaining Optimal Algae Production in Photobioreactors

Biofilm reduces light penetration, resulting in a decrease in algae density over time. To optimize production, consider resetting your photobioreactor every 2-4 months. This involves using our automated clean-in-place (CIP) system to remove biofilm, sterilizing filters, and restarting with a new inoculum. While 2-4 months is typical, some cultures, such as Pavlova and Haematococcus, can take up to 11.5 months.
