因此，在養殖期間，該微藻自動化養殖設備能完整記錄養殖參數及藻液資訊，建立不同藻種與養殖條件之相關性，同時可將養殖期間的即時感測值(如日照度、煙氣中的二氧化碳濃度、養殖液體的酸鹼值、養殖液體的濁度等)回饋至該控制單元8，該控制單元8會自動調整養殖參數，進而控制各單元執行相對應的調整運作。Therefore, during the breeding period, the micro-algae automatic breeding equipment can completely record the breeding parameters and algae liquid information, establish the correlation between different algae species and breeding conditions, and at the same time, the instantaneous sensing values during the breeding period (such as sunshine, smoke) The concentration of carbon dioxide in the medium, the pH value of the culture liquid, the turbidity of the culture liquid, etc. are fed back to the control unit 8, and the control unit 8 automatically adjusts the culture parameters, thereby controlling each unit to perform a corresponding adjustment operation.
再者，當已達到所設定之收成時間時，該控制單元8會控制該養殖氣體供應單元2、該等氣體切換單元3、該養殖液體供應單元4，及該曝氣單元6皆關閉，且控制特定的液體切換單元5或全部液體切換單元5關閉對於該等養殖反應器11之輸出，並切換為反向開啟，使得該等養殖反應器11中的微藻、養殖液體及養殖氣體輸出，並經由該液體流量控制模組42流入該收成單元91，達到自動化採收微藻之功效。Furthermore, when the set harvest time has been reached, the control unit 8 controls the culture gas supply unit 2, the gas switching units 3, the culture liquid supply unit 4, and the aeration unit 6 are all closed, and Controlling the specific liquid switching unit 5 or all of the liquid switching unit 5 to shut off the output for the aquaculture reactors 11 and switching to the reverse opening, so that the microalgae, the culture liquid and the culture gas in the culture reactor 11 are output, And flowing into the harvesting unit 91 via the liquid flow control module 42 to achieve the effect of automatically collecting the microalgae.
進一步就微藻濃度與日照度，及養殖反應器11進口處與出口處之二氧化碳濃度、環境溫度、藻液溫度與藻液酸鹼值在養殖期間之變化趨勢觀察及說明如下：參閱圖3，為微藻濃度與日照度在養殖期間之變化趨勢，養殖結果顯示藻液濃度由開始養殖的0.4克/公升(g/L)，隨著養殖天數緩慢增加至可採收濃度1g/L，白天日照強烈時，微藻行光合作用，微藻以合成生物質為主，故濃度呈現增加趨勢，晚上缺乏日照時，微藻則將白天產生的生物質轉換成油脂儲存，濃度呈現降低現象。Further observation and explanation of the trend of microalgae concentration and sunshine, and the carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature, algae temperature and algae pH value at the inlet and outlet of the culture reactor 11 during the breeding period are as follows: For the change trend of microalgae concentration and sunshine during the breeding period, the culture results showed that the concentration of algae liquid was 0.4 g/L (L/L) from the start of cultivation, and the growth time was slowly increased to the recoverable concentration of 1 g/L. When the sunshine is strong, the microalgae is photosynthetic. The microalgae is mainly composed of synthetic biomass, so the concentration shows an increasing trend. When there is no sunshine at night, the microalgae converts the biomass produced during the day into oil storage, and the concentration is reduced.
參閱圖4，為養殖期間之養殖反應器11進口處與出口處之二氧化碳濃度、環境溫度、藻液溫度之變化趨勢；而圖5為微藻養殖期間，養殖反應器11進口處之二氧化碳濃度及藻液酸鹼值之變化趨勢，由二圖中顯示每日供氣中之CO2 濃度約17~18%，養殖反應器11的出口處排氣之CO2 濃度則約12~13%；此外，藻液中酸鹼值(pH值)由初期的4~5，逐漸增加至採收前的8~9。Referring to Figure 4, the carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature, and algae temperature at the inlet and outlet of the culture reactor 11 during the breeding period are shown; and Figure 5 shows the carbon dioxide concentration at the inlet of the culture reactor 11 during the microalgae culture and The change trend of the pH value of the algae liquid shows that the CO 2 concentration in the daily gas supply is about 17-18%, and the CO 2 concentration of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the culture reactor 11 is about 12-13%; The pH value of the algae liquid (pH value) gradually increased from the initial 4~5 to 8~9 before harvesting.
綜上所述，本新型微藻自動化養殖設備藉由上述構造設計，不但能適用於不同型式的養殖反應器11，且能完整記錄養殖參數及藻液資訊，建立不同藻種與養殖條件之相關性，同時可將養殖期間的即時感測值(如日照度、煙氣中二氧化碳濃度、養殖液體的酸鹼值、養殖液體的濁度等)回饋至該控制單元8，該控制單元8會自動調整養殖參數，進而控制各單元執行相對應的調整運作，另外，透過人機操作單元92之操作，即可令該控制單元8控制各單元自動直接進行微藻採收程序，因此可大幅降低養殖微藻之人力需求。故確實能達成本新型之目的。In summary, the novel microalgae automatic breeding equipment can be applied to different types of culture reactors 11 by the above-mentioned structural design, and can completely record the breeding parameters and algae liquid information, and establish different algal species and breeding conditions.
