Design of photobioreactor for cultivation Desmodesmus armatus (Chod.) Hegew
Keywords:
photobioreactor, construction, microalgae, biomass, Desmodesmus armatus (Chod.) HegewAbstract
The work is devoted to the development of the model of a laboratory photobioreactor for the cultivation of green algae Desmodesmus armatus (Chod.) Hegew. The type of cylindrical tubular bioreactor with internal LED spectrum illumination was chosen as the basis for creating the model. The frame is made of fiberboard and treated with waterproof acrylic varnish. The finished structure has the following dimensions: overall height of the reactor - 393 mm., overall diameter of the object - 162 mm., overall width - 158 mm. The cost of the model is UAH 843. The developed model allows to receive about 3 l of suspension culture of seaweed. The model was tested for growing D. armatus - a producer of protein-containing biomass. This species is considered as a promising forage organism in aquaculture. For comparison, D. armatus was also grown in a periodic closed system and an open system. During cultivation, the pH of the medium, temperature and amount of biomass were monitored every day. Under the conditions of cultivation in the bioreactor, the amount of biomass of D. armatus is 5-8 times higher than the biomass under the conditions of cultivation in periodic closed and open systems.
