Abstract

A circulatory photobioreactor is provided. The circulatory photobioreactor comprises a first cultivating part, a second cultivating part and a pump part connecting the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part. The first cultivating part comprises a culture tank in which culture media are supplied and a first light source coupled to the culture tank, which illuminates the inside of the culture tank. The second cultivating part comprises a culture pipe placed outside of the culture tank and supplied with cultures from the culture tank and a second light source coupled to the culture pipe, which illuminates the inside of the culture pipe. The pump part is connected to both the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part in order to circulate the culture solution between them.

Claims (20)

1. A photobioreactor comprising:

a first cultivating part comprising a culture tank in which culture media are supplied and a first light source coupled to the culture tank so as to illuminate the inside of the culture tank;

a second cultivating part comprising a culture pipe placed outside the culture tank and supplied with culture solution from the culture tank and a second light source coupled to the culture pipe so as to illuminate the inside of the culture pipe;
and a pump part connected to both the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part so as to circulate the culture solution between the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part.
2. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first light source is placed inside the culture tank.
3. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the second light source is coupled to the inner surface of the culture pipe or placed outside the culture pipe in the longitudinal direction of the culture pipe.
4. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the culture pipe has a parallel multiple folded form and comprises a plurality of second light source coupled to the outside of the culture pipe in the longitudinal direction of the culture pipe.
5. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises at least one first culture solution inlet and at least one first culture solution outlet connected to both the culture tank and the pump part, and the second cultivating part further comprises at least one second culture solution inlet and at least one second culture solution outlet connected to the first culture solution outlet and to the second culture solution inlet, respectively through the pump part.
6. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises a fresh media inlet for supplying fresh media into the culture tank and a final outlet for releasing culture solution from the culture tank.
7. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises an agitator for mixing culture solution, which is coupled to the inside of the culture tank.
8. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises a pressure-controlling valve for controlling pressure in the culture tank.
9. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises a temperature controller for controlling temperature in the culture tank.
10. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises one or more ports for sensors coupled to the culture tank.
11. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the first cultivating part further comprises a gas inlet coupled to the culture tank so as to inject gases into the culture tank.
12. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the pump part further comprises a flow rate controller.
13. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the second cultivating part further comprises an oxygen discharger.
14. The photobioreactor according to claim 13, wherein the oxygen discharger comprises an earth sensor, a mass flow controller electrically connected to the earth sensor and a valve connected to the mass flow controller.
15. The photobioreactor according to claim 1, wherein the culture pipe has an inside diameter of 3 to 30 cm.
16. A photobioreactor comprising the followings:

a first cultivating part comprising a culture tank in which culture media are supplied, a first media inlet, a first media outlet and a first light source coupled each to the culture tank; and a second cultivating part comprising a culture pipe arranged outside the culture tank in tubular shape and supplied with culture media from the culture tank, a second media inlet, a second media outlet and a second light source coupled each to the culture pipe, wherein the first media outlet is connected to the second media inlet and the first media inlet is connected to the second media outlet in order that the culture media can be circulated between the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part.
17. The photobioreactor according to claim 16, further comprising a pump part connected to both the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part in order to circulate culture solution between the first cultivating part and the second cultivating part.
18. The photobioreactor according to claim 17, wherein the pump part comprises a third culture solution inlet between the first culture solution outlet and the second culture solution inlet; and a third culture solution outlet between the first culture solution inlet and the second culture solution outlet.
19. The photobioreactor according to claim 16, wherein the pump part further comprises a flow rate controller.
20. The photobioreactor according to claim 16, wherein the culture pipe has an inside diameter of 3 to 30 cm.
