Optimum Photobioreactor Design via Optimizing Cultivation Conditions of Microcystis aeruginosa.
RESEARCH JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL SCIENCES(2016)
Abstract
Biodiesel production is considered one of the global issues. In recent years, cyanobacterial biodiesel have attracted much attention and investments. The cultivation technique using photobioreactor is mandatory for optimizing the biomass production and oil content also for producing specific products with high purity. In this research, the variance in light sources affects algal growth is recorded through fluorescent, white LED, red LED and blue LED illumination. The result oil of this diversity is analyzed using gas chromatography GC-Mass, while the protein and carbohydrates of the biomass are analyzed in order to enrich the added value. The results revealed that illumination using white LED optimizes the biomass, oil, protein and carbohydrates contents. The carbon chains have the most suitable configuration for biodiesel specifications. Finally, photobioreactor unit is designed in capacity of 6.4 L, composite of 8 bubble column each of volume 1L with cavity 20%. This unit produces
