  • Publication number: 20120171761
    Abstract: An industrialized algae culturing method is provided, which comprises the following steps of: placing algae and a culture solution into a pipeline photosynthesis unit for photosynthesis; introducing the photosynthesized algae and the culture solution into a gas intake/venting unit by means of a powered liquid transport unit to remove oxygen from and replenish carbon dioxide into the culture solution; and introducing the photosynthesized algae and the culture solution into the pipeline photosynthesis unit for recycling therein the gas intake/venting unit has a first sealing member and a second sealing member, and the first sealing member and the second sealing member keep the gas intake/venting unit sealed off the external environment during a process of gas intake or venting, thereby keeping the culture solution clean and improving the quality of the algae. Furthermore, the present invention also provides an industrialized algae culturing system.

  • Patent number: 7851211
    Abstract: An alga microbe photosynthetic reaction system is used to circularly cultivate alga microbes and a culture medium infused in the system. The system comprises a photosynthetic reaction unit, a communicating unit, a pressure liquid infusion unit, an injection and oxygen discharging device, and a regulation area. The photosynthetic reaction unit is a light permeable pipeline. The injection and oxygen discharging device is assembled with an oxygen discharge can and a liquid collection can. By the connection and the functioning of the photosynthetic reaction unit, the communicating unit, the pressure liquid infusion unit, the injection and oxygen discharging device, and the regulation area, the alga microbe culture solution can circularly cultivate good quality algae in the system. The system further comprises a heating unit, a watering unit, and a light complement unit to control the ambient temperature and the light source to suit all kinds of algae.

  • Publication number: 20070257157
    Abstract: A frame structure for the helical hose holding assembly includes a mainframe having at least one hooking portion and at least one locking hole. The hooking portions of the mainframe are easily hooked at holes of the supporting frame, and the locking holes are used to lock a joint component at the frame structure. A helical hose assembly is positioned at the supporting surface of the frame structure by the joint component. Thus, it is easy to assemble the mainframe and to assemble and disassemble the helical hose assembly one by one.
