Laboratory-scale photobioreactor automation for microalgae biofuel research

It is really challenging to work a photobioreactor manually. Productive working of the photobioreactor needs close check of growth conditions which is possible through continual data gathering from the system. Manual sampling gathering and analysis are both effortful and slightly expensice. In this work which is done for its efficient operation, the improvement of a combined actual-time bioreactor monitoring and management system, nutriment accession, time of the biomass collection, light, temperature-related decisions, furnishing cycles, preveting economic losses during algae formation were made. When all of these areis being applied, Solidworks 2018, Simplify3D, Proteus 8.5 programs were used actively. To obtain mounting parts, Prusa i3 three dimensional printer were used and dimensional printer was used. Considering the results, it's been shown that microbial contamination is minimized during sampling, gathering and nutriment accession along the programmed planting system.
