Description

Be used for promoting the algae of pallet or bioreactor or the fluid agitation apparatus of microalgae growth
Technical field
The present invention relates to the fluid agitation apparatus for the algae that promotes pallet or bioreactor or microalgae growth.Term pallet or bioreactor can refer to that also basin, fermentation tank and other are suitable for cultivating the device of algae and microalgae.The present invention can be applicable to for example organic cultivation such as algae, microalgae, and described organism is suitable for or can be used for generating oil, living beings, bio-fuel, feed etc.
Background technology
Living beings are known as the purposes of regenerative resource, for example produce electric energy or obtain and can or produce bio-fuel for the oil that burns by the burning of living beings or by gasification after-combustion earlier.As the source that generates living beings, comprise the use corn in the prior art, soybean, mustard seed (a kind of rapeseed), manioca (manioca fruit), hazelnut, oil palm, but best performance (representing for the number that rises of the oil of the surperficial institute output of cultivating with per unit) is specific by adopting, the algae of known kind or microalgae obtain, for example original chlorella (clorella prototecoides) (it can be cultivated by autotrophy or heterotrophism is cultivated), little plan ball algae (nannochloropsis), Isochrysis galbana (isochrysis) (T-ISO), four take on prominent four whip algaes (tetraselmis suecica) or also have other algae in addition.
Microalgae is unicellular and aquatic photosynthetic plant organism (that is, it starts photosynthesis), and it presents and is different from most green plants, common size less than 30 μ m, and it can change into carbohydrate or fat with solar energy or luminous energy.As all oxygen photosynthesis things that contain, microalgae is by utilizing water as the source of electronics, mineral salt and utilize carbon dioxide as nutriment and utilize solar radiation to grow as energy source, and it has obviously faster growth period than terrestrial plant.
Therefore, these microalgaes are particularly suitable for absorbing atmospheric CO 2Generate bio-fuel, purifying city and agricultural-animal-industrial waste and produce biomolecule.The microalgae of in a lot of countries, having commercially produced different cultivars already, and these microalgaes are for the production of the synthetic person (food integrator) of food, feed, pigment, aliphatic acid, ω 3(aliphatic acid), be used for the living beings of aquaculture and the processing of discarded object.
Not every algae strain system or microalgae strain system all are suitable for large-scale culture, and therefore, obtaining the suitable strain system that is used for large-scale culture needs careful selecting and long-term complying with.Some cyanobacteria (for example spirulina and OK a karaoke club Maas lake algae (Klamath)) uses the name of term microalgae usually.Algae after cultivating and gathering in, can experience different technology (for example flocculation, decantation and centrifugation) to obtain algae cream, after implementing extraction process, by extruding or use solvent, obtain oil, its output is that per hectare is used to cultivate on the region of described algae and produces about 15-30 ton per year.
Except oil, can also be with the amount of annual per hectare 60-90 tonnage magnitude by the algae extraction plate object (panels) that can be used for obtaining feed, biogasoline or other products.For the cultivation of microalgae, it is known using culture tray in open space, and this culture tray comprises the big pallet of filling water, treats to be present in the described pallet by the cultured microalgae class, and described pallet is directly exposed in the sunray.Described pallet has big surface area, the moderate degree of depth (because light is difficult to penetrate that one deck of growth microalgae, therefore this degree of depth is not more than 2cm from the surface usually), and described pallet is typically provided with mechanical propeller, described screw is arranged in certain part of described pallet, thereby make little algae move and can make described little algae be present in darker degree of depth place, periodically to grow to water surface.Known pallet is inexpensive, but there are some defectives in it, for example productive rate is limited, footprint area big (although its area is less than the occupied area of other plant kind), need be placed in the region of benign climate, be difficult to keep the culture parameters near optimal value, may be contaminated, may produce insect.The known alternative scheme that is used for cultivating algae and microalgae is made up of following: use have transparent wall usually, the bioreactor of moisture and algae or microalgae (namely, container or approximate annular solid, roughly in a tubular form), controlled and optimum chemistry-physics and biological parameter can be cultivated and adopt to described algae or microalgae under the condition of culture of optimum.
In such culture systems, except enough illuminate conditions, must control temperature with the abundant transfer of assurance algae quality, and reduce to pollute.Described bioreactor can be provided with for the various devices of controlling and keep optimum culture parameters, for example automatic control system, the pump that is used for recirculated water, filter etc.
Dissimilar bioreactors is known, and it can be for example flat, horizontal tube, inclined tube, conveyor screw etc.For example, tabular bioreactor is made up of the rectangle receiver, described receiver is vertically to arrange, its width is between 1 to 5cm, it is made by glass or plexiglas, in this bioreactor, make described algae remain the form of suspension by the air stream of usually introducing via the particular conduit that is arranged on the downstream, and collect described algae from the top.
Also owing to because the surface that more algae is arranged is exposed under the solar radiation and can realizes the more outstanding photosynthesis performance that the automatic control to incubation causes, make bioreactor can realize bigger productive rate (the cultivation productive rate with algae and microalgae is represented); And described bioreactor is also littler to the influence of environment, and they can be arranged in the more geographical environment, and its space that occupies is more much smaller than the pallet that is in the open space.
But there is some defective in such bioreactor, and for example implementation cost and management cost are all very high, and energy consumption is very big and standing charges are expensive.Such bioreactor also relates to gathering of oxygen, and this must remove from bioreactor, and owing at inside reactor reaction has taken place, makes described reactor experience heat up, so need cooling system (shelter from heat or light, spray spray water etc.).Keep the expensive application that has limited them that this class is cultivated, make them only be used for highly purified large-scale culture, be used for requiring to extract the biomolecule with high commercial value and the inoculation that is used for open system.
In addition, it is known that solar concentrator and bioreactor are used in combination, and for example, is used for concentrating in together and make described solar radiation to permeate in described algae more solar radiation; But such solar concentrator is complicated and expensive.
