Facade-integrated bioreactor systems
Jan 1, 2015 - Dec 31, 2018
Both active and valuable substances can be extracted from algae for a wide range of applications in industry. For the cultivation of microalgae, façade-integrated photobioreactors were developed, which avoid the consumption of arable land.
This avoids the so-called plate-tank problem. The aerosol-based reactor enables the cultivation of terrestrial algae and therefore differs significantly from previous aquatic photobioreactors. A 1:1 prototype was set up at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences as part of a joint research project funded by the BMBF. →
