  • Patent number: 11773360
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an algal cultivation system comprising an algal pond. The algal pond comprises a growth chamber containing algal culture which is exposed to light to enable rapid growth of algae therein, and a regeneration chamber which is substantially devoid of light and configured to provide a residence time to algal culture for repair of damaged proteins of algal cells. The present disclosure also relates to a process for biomass production, comprising circulating algal culture using convection current or forced convection, between the growth chamber and the regeneration chamber. The system and process facilitate in increasing biomass and mitigating salinity and/or temperature variations in the algal culture (A).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Assignee: RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED
    Inventors: Natarajan Mohan, Amit Vinod Mahulkar, Ganesh K. Veluswamy, Avinash Ramchandra Khopkar, Ganesh Lakshman Maddikeri, Nitin Narayan Kirdat, Arun Banerjee, Ravikumar Yelchuri

  • Publication number: 20190075743
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for improving fluid circulation in a raceway pond. The system comprises at least one mid-wall, which is obliquely disposed within the raceway pond. The mid-wall divides the raceway pond into at least two portions, such that the portions are connected to and in fluid communication with each other. The obliquely disposed mid-wall improves the fluid circulation in the raceway pond.
