Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Photobioreactors: Design and Applications

Photobioreactors: Design and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of photobioreactor design, types and applications. It also introduces key principles that enable chemical and environmental engineers to engage in analysis, optimization and design with consistent control over biological and chemical transformations. The use of computational modeling of processes, control systems and CFD is in great demand. This book covers these aspects of chemical and bioprocesses. Focuses on design, types, modeling and simulation of photobioreactors and applications in biohydrogen and microalgae production Includes up-to-date reviews of photobioreactors Discusses biopolymers, diatoms, cyanobacteria and pigments production using different types of photobioreactors INDICE: Section A: Comprehensive introduction to photobioreactors 1.
