Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour un processus photochimique, tel qu'un processus photocatalytique et/ou photosynthétique, notamment pour une culture et production, voire une hydroculture, de micro-organismes, de préférence phototrophes. Un réacteur, notamment un bioréacteur, est prévu et un milieu réactionnel, par exemple une solution aqueuse ou une suspension, est acheminée dans le réacteur en décrivant des méandres. Le réacteur parcouru par le milieu réactionnel (6) est constitué d'au moins un élément de réacteur (2) formé de deux tubes (3) ou chambres (8) verticaux ou inclinés à un angle, reliés par le bas. Une introduction du milieu réactionnel (6) dans le réacteur ainsi que son évacuation de celui-ci ont lieu, de préférence en continu, sans pression et à l'air libre par la surface supérieure du milieu réactionnel. Le milieu réactionnel (6) peut circuler sans exercer de contraintes sur les micro-organismes en raison de la compensation hydrostatique de niveau et de pression. Le réacteur avec ses tubes (3) ou chambres (8) constitués de préférence de matériau transparent ou translucide est disposé dans un liquide (14) conducteur de lumière.
