ABSTRACT

ALGAFARM is an industrial-scale microalgae production facility for the production of Chlorella biomass for food and feed applications. ALGAFARM integrates the entire production process, from small-volume production at a lab scale to final product packaging. It uses a combination of closed photobioreactor (PBR) technologies comprising mainly of large modular arrays of tubular PBRs (Figure 13.1) to cultivate the microalgae. The closed modular PBRs are based on transparent plastic
