Airlift Bioreactor for Algae Cultivation
Keywords:
Bioreactor,, Cultivation,, AlgaeAbstract
This article reviews the possible bioreactor in closed system, which can be used for algae cultivation. The advantage and disadvantage of different type of reactor were compared. The airlift bioreactor has high potential to apply in the industrial scale. In addition, the important parameters in bioreactor design for algae cultivation were mentioned.
