Algae PhotobioreactorAlgae Photobioreactor An algae photobioreactor (PBR) is a device that can contain and grow algae. This self contained system is a controllable environment in which to grow algae, and where the supply of light, nutrients, carbon dioxide, air, and temperature can be regulated. See the section on Algae Media for more information on culture characteristics. As an algae photobioreactor is a totally enclosed system it is generally more expensive than an open system. However, there are several major advantages as the bioreactor can prevent or at least minimise contamination (from other algae species and bugs), and allows easier cultivation of one algae strain. It also offers better control over a range of other growing conditions , like the pH, light, carbon dioxide, and temperature. In addititon to this a closed system reduces evaporative water losses, and has lower carbon dioxide losses which all-in-all means higher cell concentrations. In other words there are more grams of algae produced per litre of water. One of the products that can be grown in these systems is Spirulina, which is thought to have been a food source for the Aztecs and other Mesoamericans. Cortés' soldiers even described the harvesting and sale of algal cakes from Lake Texcoco. More recently at a UN World Food Conference, Spirulina was lauded as the 'best food for the future' and a number of Aid agencies are providing high protein algae powder mixed with flour to starving people. NASA and the European Space Agency have also indicated that Spirulina might be one of the primary foods to be grown during long space missions. Lately in the news there are reports that NASA and a commercial company are exploring the process of making biofuels from algae. Other
uses include cosmetics, animal feed, and fertiliser. This certainly is
an exciting and rewarding area! Want to explore for yourself? This manual shows you step-by-illustrated-step how to build an algae photobioreactor to grow your biodiesel or health food at home. Growing algae at home couldn't be made any easier for you.
Imagine... having an algae photobioreactor in your garage, able to grow algae for bio-oil for your home, health food supplements for your family, organic fertilizer for your farm or garden, working silently, automatically, 24/7, in your garage. Imagine able to do it all from one unit, AT THE SAME TIME... Think about it. The "algae revolution" is upon us. Algae is one of the most powerful breakthroughs of the 21st. century. With algae you can "grow your own..." · Health Food Supplements · Gasoline · Biodiesel · Organic fertilizer · Animal feed · And much more...(Science is only beginning to scratch the surface of this amazing organism.)
Simply put, no other organism on earth comes close to algae in versatility.
Suppose you could invest less than $35 and get started immediately? How much is good health, free fuel, and organic vegetables worth to your family? Sounds too good to be true?
Well, it isn't if you have the right knowledge, skills, and resources. We are about to give you those and "Spill the beans" right now...
No one has been willing to share really this knowledge... Until Now
Why? Because that knowledge is worth BIG BUCKS! With good reason. PBR's cost ten's of thousands of dollars to build if you hire them out. You better believe the people that build them keep it secret. It could take you years and can cost you a small fortune to figure out just the right combinations that make some bioreactors work - while others fall flat on their face.
But instead of knocking yourself out, spending years of trial and error, (Like I did. My first PBR I made out of bamboo...it failed.) Trying to understand this complex machine, you can now do it yourself, cheaply, easily, and quickly with this new ebook.
· A simple algal incubator that cost less than $35. 00 and an hour to build and you can use it immediately to start growing algae. The best part is, do this correctly and you'll never need to buy another algae culture again! (Page 25) · The best place to buy algae cultures, cheaply and inexpensively. (Page 21) · A test bioreactor that allows you to test 10 different strains, or 10 different variables at once. This one unit can save you YEARS of trial and error (Page 38) · The "PBR Diary" Step-by-step instructions on how to get your PBR up and going. What to do and when to do it! (Page 82) · How to build tubular PBR's like the ones you see in the press releases for less than $150! (Page 93) · How to DOUBLE THE CAPACITY of a tubular PBR for a fraction of the cost. (Page 130) · How to build a "Fence" type PBR that goes for tens of $1000's of dollars but you'll build it less than $200. (Page 161) · How to build a 80 gallon home system for less than $225 dollars. (Page 196) · How to build a 150 gallon bioreactor More than enough to satisfy most algae requirements. (Page 227) · The PBR’s presented here all meet various criteria. Among other things they… o All are scalable and can be built in different sizes o They can be scaled to just about any budget o All are made easily, from materials at hand. o All are made using basic hand tools. o All are inexpensive to reproduce. o All are functional, work, and perform the job they are built for. In short, they are the real deal. The best part is, you can build these units yourself for a fraction of the cost.
Advantages: · Easily built using readily available parts. · Easy to take apart and clean. · Can be built with normal household tools. · Can be built in 2-3 days. · Easy to maintain and repair
