Opis

Algal biomass production depends on various working parameters such as parameters optimization (pH, light photoperiod, nutrients etc.), Photobioreactor design (PBR shape, Glass width, Glass transparency) and culture conditions etc. An effective PBR endow with all necessary conditions for algal biomass growth and development for efficient end products. Apart from the shape of PBR, temperature is another key parameter affecting the productivity; however favorable temperature depends on the type of alga strain. Alga has multidimensional uses such as biofuel production, wastewater treatment, carbon sequestration, bio-fertilizer, nutrient supplements, animal feed and fodder, cosmetic industry and medicine sector. Algal potential for synthesis of energy products can be enhanced by effective cultivation and harvesting system. Techno-economic feasibility of selected approach (wastewater as nutrient source, biofuel production and cost analysis of fabricated bioreactor) is significant to scale-up the biomass productivity.
