Abstract[English]
The present disclosure describes a photobioreactor for cultivating and harvesting phototrophic microorganisms. The photobioreactor includes at least a cultivation system and a harvest system, and may include other systems such as nutrients supply system. The cultivation system includes a container for containing and cultivating a suspension culture of microorganisms. A plurality of air injectors are provided on a bottom wall of the container to agitate the culture. In addition, the cultivation system includes a filtration container with a removable filter screen for separating the biomass from the culture. The filtration container may revolve around a vertical axis while tilting relative to the vertical axis. The air injectors are effective in preventing the microorganisms from gathering towards the bottom wall, and prominently reduces the time and cost required to cultivate high quality. The photobioreactor may also communicate with and controlled by a remote computing device.[French]
La présente divulgation concerne un photobioréacteur pour la culture et la récolte de micro-organismes phototrophes. Le photobioréacteur comprend au moins un système de culture et un système de récolte, et peut comprendre d'autres systèmes tels qu'un système d'alimentation en nutriments. Le système de culture comprend un récipient destiné à contenir et à cultiver une culture de micro-organismes en suspension. Une pluralité d'injecteurs d'air sont disposés sur une paroi inférieure du récipient pour mettre la culture sous agitation. De plus, le système de culture comprend un récipient de filtration présentant un tamis de filtre amovible pour séparer la biomasse de la culture. Le récipient de filtration peut tourner autour d'un axe vertical tout en étant incliné par rapport à l'axe vertical. Les injecteurs d'air sont efficaces pour empêcher les micro-organismes de se rassembler vers la paroi inférieure, et réduisent significativement le temps et les coûts nécessaires à une culture de haute qualité. Le photobioréacteur peut également communiquer avec un dispositif informatique distant, et être commandé par celui-ci.
