Embodiment

[0067] In a specific non-limiting example, the system for culturing cells includes a 130 square meter and 5-foot deep tank used as a thermal suppression system. The pond is formed by an earthen embankment in a generally horizontal area and has an artificial membrane liner. Approximately 540 parallel 100-meter-long, transparent 6-inch diameter PVC pipes extend through the pool. The tube was submerged about 3-4 feet below the surface. The pipe is supported by a pipe support from the bottom of the pool, and each end of the pipe is in fluid communication with the main pipe.

[0068] Divide the pool into three parts. Each part is divided into two reverse flow sections. The internal flow of the fluid in the pipe flows from a distribution manifold and passes through the pool through a section of the pipe. The fluid then enters the second manifold, where it flows to the second section of the pipe that flows in the opposite direction to the first section of the pipe. Leaving the second sec...

Abstract

Disclosed are a system and method for growing photosynthetic cells in conduit. The system and method supply light, CO2 and nutrients to the cells. The system and method also dampen thermal variations in the conduit.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application claims priority of US provisional patent application 60 / 862,366 entitled "System and Method for Culturing Cells" filed on October 20, 2006, the entire content of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. Technical field [0003] Generally speaking, embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for culturing photosynthetic cells under controlled conditions. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to the use of photosynthetic microorganisms for the production of products such as biofuels. Background technique [0004] Two challenges facing the world today include the ongoing environmental pollution of carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming, and the continuous consumption of the world's natural energy sources such as fossil fuels. The increase in fossil fuel consumption is associated with the increase in carbon dioxide air pollution, which is a cycle...
