Abstract:
A photometric flow cell for in-line determination of the biomass content in a microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. cultivation has been constructed, integrated into the photobioreactor and tested. This process is used for the development of a third-generation biofuel technology. The results obtained have shown a linear dependence of the detected optical density on the biomass content. Therefore, the concept of in-line determination of the biomass content in similar cultivation processes using a photometric sensor based on a single laser light source has been proved.
