Embodiment Construction

[0047] figure 1 A schematic side view of an embodiment of a bioreactor plant 1 for growing different species 2 comprising three pot arrangements 3 is shown. Each pot device 3 is used for a different kind of species 2a, 2b, 2c. A first pot arrangement 3a is used for containing the first species 2a, a second pot arrangement 3b is used for containing the second species 2b, and a third pot arrangement 3c is used for containing the third species 3c.

[0048] The first species 2a is a primary species at the primary stage of a food chain including primary producers and / or autotrophs and the like.

[0049] The second species 2b is a secondary species of a secondary stage of the food chain comprising consumers and / or heterotrophs.

[0050] The third stage 2c is the third species of the third stage of the food chain, similar to the second stage, including heterotrophs (in particular heterotrophs different from said heterotrophs of the primary stage). In this example, the third stage ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a bioreactor apparatus(1) for growing of biological species(2), comprising at least one basin device(3) defining a first habitat(4a) for a first species(2a), and a first lighting device(5a) having one light emitting solid- state lighting source(6), adapted for the first species(2a) by emitting light(L), wherein the solid-state lighting source(6) illuminates said habitat(4) using light energy emitted from the solid-state lighting source(6), wherein the bioreactor apparatus(1) comprises a second habitat(4b), adapted for a second species(2b). The invention further relates to a bioreactor system(20) comprising two bioreactor apparatus(1a,1b), one adopted as an aquatic ecoregion, one adopted as a terrestrial ecoregion, both combined to form a complex artificial ecoregion and a method for growing light energy dependant biological species(2) in one bioreactor apparatus(1), comprising: illuminating a first species(1) in a first habitat(4a) by a first lighting device(5a), transferring the grown first species(2a) to a successive habitat(4b, 4c, 4d,... ), separated from the previous habitat(4), via a connection system(7), illuminating a successive species(2b,2c,... ) in said successive habitat(4b,4c,4d,... ) by a successive lighting device(5b,5c,... ), and repeating the steps transferring and illuminating until the desired species(2) has grown to an optimum.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bioreactor device according to the preamble of claim 1 , a bioreactor system comprising at least two bioreactor devices and a method for growing biological species dependent on light energy. [0002] Bioreactor units and bioreactor systems comprising bioreactor units are well known in the art. Background technique [0003] For example in US 7,220,018 B2 a method and apparatus for illuminating marine habitats for growth using LED light systems is disclosed. The light system includes LED light sources, a power supply for such light sources, and a controller for controlling the activation state and intensity of the LED light sources. The device includes a single enclosure in which marine habitats are housed. The light source is only used for one species in one setup. The device according to US 7,220,018 B2 is thus not suitable for many species, especially for the complete food chain. [0004] The present invention has theref...
