Specialists from the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering of the Civil Engineering Institute have developed a photobioreactor as part of the project "Development of technologies for capturing CO2 from exhaust flue gases of power and industrial installations using microalgae biomass", supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. The modern equipment was manufactured by Algotek Green Technology and is a multifunctional installation for growing microalgae.
The photobioreactor opens up broad opportunities for scientists to conduct applied environmental research related tocapturing carbon dioxide by microalgae biomass.
The reactor has a capacity of 100 liters, and a mixture of microalgae, water, and nutrient medium is loaded into it. The system is equipped with automatic control of carbon dioxide supply, pH level, lighting, and temperature, which allows you to control the cultivation conditions and simulate various environmental scenarios.
In the future, the photobioreactor will be used for research in the field of bioremediation, including the possibility of cleaning flue gases at industrial enterprises using microalgae. The results of the research will serve as a basis for the development of environmentally friendly technologies for reducing the carbon footprint and integrating microalgae cultivation systems into production processes.
