In this study, a model of a continuous pilot photobioreactor for microalgae production is
proposed. Three aspects have been studied: the modelling of kinetic growth, the gas-liquid …

A microorganism culture process is a complex system in which physical operating
parameters and biological responses strongly interact. Mathematical formulation and …

The industrial production of microalgae in continuous photobioreactors (PBRs) was
investigated using an integrated experimental-modeling approach. A lab-scale PBR was …

This paper outlines and extends a dynamic model for microalgal production in outdoor
tubular photobioreactors. A first principle based model, which takes into account both spatial …

In this chapter, dynamic models for microalgal production in open and closed
photobioreactors are presented. These models are first principle-based models, which take …

Microalgae cultivation in photobioreactors is a complex process where environmental,
biological and/or design variables affect the system. Due to this great complexity, it is …

A dynamic model for microalgal culture is presented. The model takes into account the fluid-
dynamic and mass transfer, in addition to biological phenomena, it being based on …

Rational design of large-scale bioreactors is still suffering from inadequate scale-up of
technical parameters from lab to large scale and from missing kinetic information concerning …

Closed photobioreactors (PBRs) are usually used for the production of high-value
microalgae biomass at higher productivities than in open ponds. A large variety of different …

The development of photobioreactors optimized to increase the biomass production from
phototrophic microalgae cultures assumes a major concern for the economic viability of …
