Flat-plate Photobioreactor (PPB50)
Flat-plate photobioreactor is an equipment to investigate microalgal growth process during photosynthesis. In this system light is reached to cells in a short light path and growth take place. Due to the flat structure of the reactor and short light path mixing in not required and aeration serves as mixing factor. This reactor is manufactured in different sizes. Light intensity is adjustable and can be regulated based on the growth rate. A microcontroller sets the light intensity. Lighting cycles can be customized in the reactor as required.
