Control device for advanced bioreactor photonics

该项目将寻求为一种能够生产一系列微藻的新型生物反应器开发一种光子学控制系统。光子学和相关控制系统将成为argreen（英国）有限公司开发的300l台式光生物反应器的核心技术。在更大规模（4,000升和30,000升）的情况下，这种PBR将能够在英国的气候下有效运行，只占用很小的土地足迹，并且可以使用废水处理厂的处理过的水作为藻类生产的关键原料。这样的控制系统将使公司能够进一步研究光子学对藻类培养和产量提高的影响。目标是为新一代藻类光生物反应器创造第一代智能灯。

The project will seek to develop a photonics control system for a novel bioreactor capable of producing a range of micro-algae. The photonics and associated control system, will be the core technology in a 300l bench scale photobioreactor developed by Aragreen (UK) Ltd. At larger scale (4,000l & 30,000l) this PBR will be capable of operating efficiently in the UK’s climate, will utilize only a small land footprint and can be operable using treated water from waste water treatment works, as the key feedstock in algae production. Such a control system will enable to company to progress research into the effects of photonics on algae cultivation and yield improvement. The objective is to create a first generation of smart lights for a new generation of algae photobioreactors.
