  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE GROWTH OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS AND THE BIOFIXATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE THROUGH A HIGH- EFFICIENCY OPTICAL DIFFUSER WITH VARIABLE SPECTRUM AND INTENSITY
    Publication number: 20210388298
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the optimization of growth processes of photosynthetic organisms by means of the use of an optical system of artificial lighting are provided. An apparatus for culture of photosynthetic microorganisms includes at least one first panel containing the photosynthetic microorganisms and at least one device for artificial lighting of the photosynthetic microorganisms. The at least one device for artificial lighting is an optical device and comprises an optical guide, a plurality of LEDs, and a regulation and control panel of the at least one device for artificial lighting. The regulation and control panel-is configured to vary both a spectrum, between 200 and 900 nm in order to optimize quality of light emitted, and light intensity, between 1% and 100% in order to obtain emission uniformity, through the optical guide.
