Continuous Microalgal Culture System

The photobioreactor is designed for continuous production of various species of microalgae such as Chaetoceros, Thalassiosira, Chlorella and Spirulina. With the production capacity of 6–7 L, at approximately 1x106 cell/mL concentration for Chaetoceros which can be used as stock culture for further mass cultivation, the unit can operate continuously for 30 days. It is equipped with an inline device for protozoa and microalgae decontamination, thus eliminating the need of autoclave sterilization. This Continuous Microalgal Culture System is especially suitable for shrimp hatcheries that require daily consumption of Chaetoceros as live feed for shrimp larvae.

Continuous Microalgal Culture System is available on a made-to-order basis at Shrimp Biotechnology Business Unit of BIOTEC (www.biotec.or.th/sbbu).
