Mixing, mass transfer and energy analysis across bioreactor types in microalgal cultivation and lipid production by Jones, Sarah Melissa Jane

“…Scenedesmus sp., a high lipid-producer, was cultivated in low nitrate media across a range of mixing rates in each photobioreactor.In the airlift photobioreactor a critical minimum CO2 supply rate (of 2.7×10-5 m s-1) was found, below which carbon was limiting and above which energy was spent on sparging without increased productivity (0.20 g L-1 d-1 biomass; 0.03 g L-1 d-1 lipid). …”
