Embodiment Construction

[0073] The present disclosure relates to features of systems and methods for cultivating biomass, such as algae, in a flow path around which fluid is pumped and exposed to sunlight to facilitate algae growth.

[0074] With reference to the attached drawings, especially the reference Figure 8 , the flow path 10 is shown in the form of eight consecutive connected, substantially parallel, adjacent, open-topped channels (shown as part numbers 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26). For each of the other seven channels 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26, with the exception of the first channel 12, which has only one distal end with the same arrangement, each distal end of the channel is routed via a corresponding The short transverse flow channel sections (each numbered 28 in the drawings) are in direct flow fluid communication to another immediately adjacent channel.

[0075] The flow path 10 in a serpentine configuration includes open-topped flow channels 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 2...

Abstract

A flow passage (70) is shown in the form of two successively linked, substantially parallel, adjacent, open top channels (12A, 14A) to form part of an algae cultivation system. The forward flow of thewater passes in sequence through the respective open top channels (12A) and (14A) of flow passage (70), in the direction of arrow 'A' and then is then recirculated back into to the channel (12A), andso on. The combination of added nutrients, sunlight and agitation of the fluid flow encourages the growth cultivation of the biological organisms which are continually suspended in the flowing water.Such a flow passage (70) can be used as a standalone passage used as part of a system for cultivation of biological organisms, or it can also form one basic unit of a modular system which is arrangedin use to have several such flow passages linked together in use. Such a reconfigurable apparatus gives the user the flexibility to cultivate different algae products both separately and simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to systems or methods for growing one or more biological organisms, and in particular, to optimizing growth conditions for photosynthetic algae that can be suitable for use as a food source or dietary supplement for humans Methods. Algae can also be used as livestock feed or a livestock feed ingredient for farm animals such as chickens, cattle and pigs, and as a food source for all forms of aquaculture. [0002] Although the present disclosure primarily relates to systems and methods for this purpose, it can also be applied to the growth and growth of other types of biological organisms, biomass and biomass-derived products, such as various forms of biofuels, bacteria and yeast, vitamin and minerals, as well as basic marine life food sources, such as spores (spawn) and plankton. Background technique [0003] Algae species inhabit most aquatic environments such as lakes, ponds, rivers and reservoirs. Occasiona...
