Q&A: Add Nutrient Manually? Nope – It’s Automated!

Our state-of-the-art photobioreactors (PBRs) are designed to streamline algae cultivation with automated nutrient dosing. Featuring an automated nutrient delivery system, these photobioreactors eliminate the need for manual media addition, offering a hands-free operation for optimal algae growth.

Each algae bioreactor is equipped with three peristaltic pumps. These pumps handle nutrient delivery automatically, ensuring precise and consistent application. For example, using the commercially available Guillards (F/2) formula that would work out to be:

• Peristaltic pump #1: Part A trace minerals minerals and elements.

• Peristaltic pump #2: Part B nitrate, phosphate, and vitamins.

• Paristaltic pump #3: If you are growing a diatom this would be your silica solution, or can be customized depending on your requirements.

The formulas are added separately from the water so you can control the ratios and modify the parameters for any species of algae. Watch to find out how to optimize your algae cultivation process with our innovative photobioreactors.
