  • System And Method To Create A Traveling Wave Within A Photobiotic Reactor To Enhance Algae Growth
    Publication number: 20110281339
    Abstract: A photobioreactor with a gas input is disclosed herein. The photobioreactor is tilted about an axis of rotation at various angles to provide for various flow patterns of bubbles created by the gas input. The flow patterns may vary, but include: bubble flow; slug or plug flow; churn; annular flow; or wispy annular flow. In certain configurations, a bubble flowing through the photobioreactor may increase algae growth within the reactor.
