Definitions
- the present invention concerns the field of reactors (photobioreactors) for the cultivation of microalgae (but also cyanobacteria, anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, microalgae and plant cells) in particular those comprising culture chambers made of material transparent to the photosynthetically active radiation.
- reactors photobioreactors
- microalgae but also cyanobacteria, anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, microalgae and plant cells
- culture chambers made of material transparent to the photosynthetically active radiation.
- SW high illuminated surface to volume ratio
- biofouling the adhesion of cells or particulate or pigmented matter to the reactor walls, which may reduce transmission of the radiation useful to the growth of the cultivated microorganisms
- a culture chamber made of material transparent to the photosyntetically active radiation and suitable for holding the microorganisms or the cells to be cultivated suspended in a suitable culture medium;
- a rigid framework comprising a base, a series of vertical uprights and (when necessary) a grid, suitable for containing the said culture chamber.
- the culture chamber must necessarily be transparent so as to allow transmittance of the photosynthetically active radiation to the cells kept inside the chamber.
- the culture chamber can be made of transparent plastic thin sheets, films or tubes, preferably having a thickness lower than 1 mm in order to increase transmittance and reduce costs.
- the culture chamber is made of flexible plastic film most preferably plastic sheets.
- the chamber can be made from sheets of rigid transparent material as for example fiberglass, PVC, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate and similar.
- the material of the chamber has anti-adhesive properties so as to limit biofouling.
- the uprights are designed to be applied on the sides of the base by means of suitable devices.
- these reactors present a drawback that, due to the liquid pressure, the vertical uprights tend to bend outwards. This phenomenon increases the culture volume and reduces the SiA/.
- the bending of the uprights increases with the culture height and distance between the uprights of the same row (adjacent uprights).
- a reactor for the industrial culture of photosynthetic organisms or plant cells, comprising a culture chamber made of material transparent to the photosynthetically active radiation and a rigid framework consisting of a base and vertical uprights that have one end (the lower) inserted directly into the base for a certain length, while the upper ends are connected in pairs or joined by means of a unique horizontal connecting bar.
- Figure 1 (a-c) shows a top view, a frontal view, and a side view of the reactor according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a detail of a particular embodiment of the reactor according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a further particular embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a further particular embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 shows a further particular embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 6 shows a further particular embodiment of the invention
- the present invention allows to overcome the main limitations of photobioreactors thanks to a reactor similar to the one described in the patent application WO2004/074423 in which, however, the vertical uprights are directly inserted into the base or in ground.
- a reactor 10 according to the invention comprises: a culture chamber 11 made of material transparent to photosynthetically active radiation and suitable for holding the microorganisms or the cells to be cultivated suspended in a suitable culture medium;
- a rigid framework comprising a base 12 and a series of vertical uprights 13 directly inserted into the base 12.
- the way by which the uprights 13 are inserted into the base 12 depends on the material constituting the base itself.
- the uprights can be introduced in suitable holes made in the base; in particular, when the base is in concrete or resin or similar material, the uprights can be inserted in the fresh material and they will remain blocked into the base when the material solidifies.
- those at the ends of the reactor can be better anchored to the ground by means of suitable ties connected to pegs driven into the ground as shown in figure 3.
- the length of the portion 14 of the upright 13 inserted into the base or into the ground/substrate depends on the reactor size and the characteristics of the base, but preferably it will not be inferior to 5 cm.
- each upright will preferably be joined to the corresponding end of the opposite upright and, when possibly, connected to a sole horizontal bar 15 (for example a U bar) to increase stability of the whole structure.
- a sole horizontal bar 15 for example a U bar
- the upper ends of two opposite uprights will not be joined in a single point, but preferably the joining will involve a portion of the upright not inferior to 3 cm.
- the solution envisaged in the present invention is extremely practical, greatly facilitates reactor assembly and reduces costs. Furthermore, according to a particular embodiment of the invention (very useful when the chamber is, for example, higher than 1 m), the chamber can be modified by welding the opposite walls in certain points in which a hole can be made that will allow the insertion of devices connecting two opposite vertical uprights so as that bending in that portion is prevented.
- the walls of the chamber 11 present one or more welded areas 15 at the center of which a hole 16 is made.
- the welded areas 15 are located at the same distance along the chamber wall, and when preferred, externally around the hole 16, on one or both walls, a reinforcement 17 made of rigid or semi-rigid material is applied to strengthen the wall around the hole.
- the holes will be made so as to be in front of two opposite vertical uprights 13.
- Connecting tools are for example: ropes, rings, hooks and similar.
- Particularly preferred are devices of metal or other rigid material suitably bent, as for example to form an "S", as shown in figure 2.
- the welding of the opposite chamber walls can be made by simple thermo-welding
- the reactor can be made of culture units, or modules, in any number according to the production needs and to the available land, and might be provided with one or several perforated tubes placed for example at the bottom of the culture chamber
- the culture chamber may be provided with sections or internal channels, made for example by welding the opposite reactor's walls, and suitable to guide the ascending gas bubbles along predetermined pathways.
- the culture could be mixed by means of pumps that circulates the culture inside the chamber at suitable flow and speed.
- the reactor will be provided with suitable systems for temperature control.
- Said systems can consist for example of one or more tubes (serpentines) made of metal or any other material having high thermal conductivity.
- the serpentine may cross the reactor chamber longitudinally at different heights. Inside the serpentine the thermoregulated liquid is circulated.
- a temperature probe is connected to an actuator that opens a valve or activates a pump, which circulates the thermoregulated fluid in the serpentine according to the thermal needs of the culture.
- temperature may be regulated by sprinklers that nebulise water or another fluid on the reactor walls so as to achieve evaporative cooling.
- the opening of the sprinklers is regulated as in the previous example by a temperature probe.
- the liquid sprayed onto the walls is collected by a suitable drain and recycled.
- the base of the reactor may be provided with two lateral wings that form an open rectangular or trapezoidal trough that collects and recycle the sprayed water.
- the trough can also collect possible leaks of culture medium.
- the trough can also be used to contain water or another liquid for thermoregulation.
- the liquid will efficiently exchange heat with the culture thanks to the large portion of the culture chamber that is submerged and in contact with the liquid.
- the two systems here described can work in combination.
- when the culture is circulated by means of a pump, it can be sent to a heat exchanger or to a system that achieves cooling by heat exchange or evaporation.
- the culture is made from a plastic sheet, it will be open at the top, and might be closed, hermetically or not, by a suitable cover sheet provided with outlets for air and gasses and inlets for electrodes and probes. If a large flexible plastic tube is used, suitable holes for gas exit and probes will be provided in the upper part of the tube. At the bottom of the culture chamber suitable valves may be provided for harvesting the culture and/or emptying the reactor.
- the reactors according to the invention may be placed vertically on the ground in parallel rows and with different orientations.
- the reactors may be placed on the ground with an inclination different from the vertical and, as an extreme case, they may also assume a horizontal inclination.
- orientation and the distance between the reactors may vary depending from the climatic and topographic conditions and the photochemical requirements of the culture.
- the reactors according to the invention offer the possibility to be connected so as to have a continuity of the culture medium and realize modules of bigger size.
- the connection consists of a tube of suitable diameter inserted into the reactor at the bottom near the close extremities of the two reactors to be connected.
- an internal zone of the reactor will be isolated, for example by welding the walls, at the level of the connecting tube. This zone is not bubbled.
- the culture in this non- bubbled zone has a higher specific weight and moves down and along the connection tube to a second reactor. This latter is provided with a second tube at the opposite side, again in a non-bubbled zone, which returns the culture to the first reactor or to a series of reactors similarly connected to each other.
- the reactors can be fed with the culture medium in continuous, in which case, at the opposite end, a suitable overflow tube (or alternatively a pump) ensures the culture discharge to the harvesting device or into another reactor.
- a suitable overflow tube or alternatively a pump
- the single chamber can be divided into two or more horizontal superimposed chambers (as shown in figure 5) that push on the upright with opposed forces that partially compensate each other. This minimizes the uprights bending and they may be of reduced size and cost. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the different superimposed chambers can be sustained by means of a grid or net 19 kept in tension between two uprights 13 placed at the opposite ends of the structure.
- the uprights 13, according to these last particular embodiments of the invention, can be perfectly aligned (as shown in figures 5) or slightly non-aligned as shown in figure 4.
- the uprights 13 may be provided with a suitable curvature 20 at the inferior end, near the base in which they are inserted, so as to have enough space in the chamber to allow the insertion of the tubes for air-bubbling or thermoregulation or other.
- the use of pumps for culture circulation is particularly suitable.
- the chamber will not be closed at the lateral ends, but connected to suitable manifold collectors, which will be in turn connected to the circulating pump.
