Description

Algae culture tanks that promote algae growth

This creation is an algae culture tank that can promote the growth of algae, especially an algae culture tank that can accelerate the growth rate of algae.

By the way, algae (microalgae) are single-celled protists commonly found in freshwater and brackish waters. Algae have high economic value; for example, lipid-rich algae (such as Monocystis Schizochytrium sp.) can be used to prepare biomass energy; Tetraselmls sp.), the latter such as Porphyridium sp.) can be used as food, feed, nutritional supplements and even medicines.

Existing algae culture techniques can be roughly divided into two categories: open culture and closed culture. The so-called open culture usually uses large-area algae culture ponds, and uses sunlight as the main light source to enable algae to perform photosynthesis. However, open aquaculture ponds often have problems with insufficient sunshine, dilution caused by large amounts of rain, or external pollution sources affecting algae growth, resulting in unstable production or risk of pollution. The closed culture system is also called photo-bioreactor or bioreactor for short, which is to cultivate algae in a closed system, using external natural light sources and selectively matching artificial light sources to increase production. Taking the existing closed algae cultivation tank as an example, the tank body and the upper cover of the light-transmitting material are mainly used to facilitate the penetration of the light source.

However, in the commercial culture system, the volume of the barrel is relatively large, and there is often a dead angle in the light transmission irradiation range in the algae culture barrel. In view of this, the industry proposes to use a light guide device to introduce an external light source, but the light guide device has a transmission distance limit, and even within its transmission distance, the brightness will still decrease with the transmission distance, so the brightness distribution in the reaction system is very extreme. Unevenness will also cause poor growth efficiency of algae culture.

It can be seen that the above-mentioned customary items still have many deficiencies, which are not really good designers, and need to be improved urgently.

In view of this, the author of this case has been engaged in the manufacturing, development and design of related products for many years. After careful design and careful evaluation for the above goals, he finally obtained a truly practical creation.
