PhotoBioreactors

For phototrophic organisms

Kbiotech PBR (Photobioreactor) systems can contain and grow algae, cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms under heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions.

Kbiotech PBRs are available in standard and custom fit volumes starting from 1 litre up to 100 litres for research and pilot production. Open field and large scale PBRs are also available on request.

Kbiotech PBRs are available in three different configurations:

  • ROUND TYPE: versatile configuration for multipurpose applications, including algae, plant cells, light dependant cells, bacteria, yeasts, cell cultivation
  • AIR LIFT: suitable for algae cultures, biogas and bacterial fermentation
  • FLAT-PANEL: optimal set-up for light penetration and absorbance for algae, plants and light-dependant cells

Applications

  • Culturing Macro and Micro Algae
  • Cyanobacteria and purple bacteria
  • Seaweed, plant cells, and bryophytes
  • Production of Biomolecules (polysaccharides, amino acids, isoprenoids, phenols)
  • Bioplastics, organic renewable replacements for petrochemical products
  • Aquaculture (animal feed, human nutrition, value-added products)
  • Carbon Capture (sinking carbon to mitigate climate change)
  • Wastewater remediation
  • Pharmaceutical applications (drug discovery, bioactive molecules, vaccines)
  • Hydrogen gas production (biorefineries)
  • Algal alcohols and oils as biofuels
  • Product optimization
  • Scale-up/scale-down studies
  • PBR optimization
  • Continuous cultures
  • Perfusion systems
  • Industrial production
