Benefits and limitations of modeling for optimization of Porphyridium cruentum cultures in an annular photobioreactor

Résumé

A deterministic Markov process was developed to estimate the efficiency of a fully controlled photobioreactor by calculating the growth of the Rhodophyte Porphyridium cruentum. It was assumed that microalgal growth, in strictly controlled and non-nutrient-limited conditions, is a function of the amount of light energy received. The light sources delivered a continuous 206 μE m−2 s−1 average photon flux density to cultures reaching concentrations of 3 g l−1 in batch and 0.7 g l−1 in chemostat. The concentration time-courses calculated compared satisfactorily with measured results for both batch and continuous cultures. The quality of simulation in these two cases validated the hypotheses made, especially for the linearity of light bioconversion, and allowed the model to be used for further exploration of the photobioreactor-operating domain. Distribution of the specific growth rate as a function of time and radial position was compared for the two simulated cases. The use of an initial batch of several days prior to the dilution of a continuous culture proved theoretically beneficial for overall production. The influence of the dilution rate and of light-path length on surface productivity and concentration at steady state were demonstrated.
