Suitable for large-scale cultivation of photosynthetic organisms such as microalgae. Instruments, light sources, and temperature control can be customized to meet your needs.
This is a must-see for researchers who want to cultivate microalgae and photosynthetic bacteria in large quantities but cannot find suitable equipment. The glass tube photobioreactor is a device that allows for the large-scale cultivation of photosynthetic organisms by circulating the medium through a glass tube while receiving light from sources such as sunlight and LED lights. The glass tube has a light efficiency that is superior to traditional pond types, achieving efficiencies that can be 5 to 6 times greater. Additionally, because it is a closed-type reactor, it reduces contamination and improves CO2 utilization efficiency. 【Features】 ■ Higher efficiency than pond types ■ Reduced contamination due to the closed-type reactor ■ Internal cleaning of the tube can be done with pig cleaning ■ Some degree of temperature control is possible ■ Capable of cultivating marine algae and other species *Instrumentation, pumps, and auxiliary equipment can be customized to meet your needs.
