| Summary: | Microalgae has been used as a source for biochemical compounds with a high added value. It implies the need for developing profitable processes with high quality. A continuous system is a good option to be used to improve that kind of process. The objective of this research was to propose a design of a continuous system for an Airlift photobioreactor in a laboratory scale, by means of design variables such as inlet and outlet flows, diameter of the hosepipe, retention time in the storage tanks and power of the pump. The mathematical method begins with mass and energy balances that allowed relating these variables with values already defined for this system. As a result, with these balances not only was it possible to solve these design variables, but it also allowed defining and delimiting the different parts and components of the continuous system. |
