Abstract: The present invention relates to a large-scale photosynthetic bioreactor in which transparent photobioreactors including a baffle are connected in parallel or in series by an adhesive element so that the reactor volume can be easily scaled up for scale-up culture of photosynthetic organisms, and to a fabrication method thereof. The large-scale photosynthetic bioreactor according to the present invention makes it possible to culture a larger amount of microalgae than a conventional photobioreactor in the same area. In addition, it has high light transmittance, produces a large amount of biomass per unit area due to smooth mixing, and has a significant effect of reducing carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the present invention has an advantage in that the number of photosynthetic bioreactors required to culture the same scale of photosynthetic organisms is significantly smaller than that in a conventional process for culture of photosynthetic organisms, and thus the operating costs can be reduced.

Abstract: A unit for the regulation for control of a fluid pressure, having at least one housing section and a switching film connected to the at least one housing section. A chemically inert, non-rubber-like PTFEswitching film switching film is disposed in the valve housing and switches at pressure differences of 1 mbar to 250 mbar for regulating, opening or blocking a flow of a fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The switching film is formed of a fluorine and carbon containing polymer material. The switching film has a plate-shaped flat body with a bending region and has a central closure region surrounded by the bending region. The bending region, when switching the switching film, moves the central closure region relative to a valve seat of the valve housing in an axial direction of the plate-shaped flat body toward or away from the valve seat by a stretch free or low-stretch bending movement.

The switching film (22) is made out of a polymer material having fluorine and carbon, in particular a thermoplastic having fluorine and carbon. In this arrangement, a hole cross-section (40) of the at least one housing section (13, 14) is closed off by the switching film (22).
