Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a photobioreactor, belonging to the field of spirulina cultivation technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of spirulina cultivation, especially in the large-scale production process of spirulina cultivation in photobioreactors, spirulina is sensitive to photosynthetic metabolism and its growth status is easily affected by the environment. This leads to low photosynthetic efficiency and unstable growth rate under processes such as light regulation, carbon source supply, and temperature control. To solve the above problems, the existing technology generally adopts the method of collecting environmental parameters for threshold regulation, that is, monitoring and adjusting the cultivation environment in the photobioreactor to adapt to the growth of spirulina.
[0003] Currently, the methods of controlling environmental parameters have a significant impact on the cultivation effect of spirulina. In existing technologies, technicians typically rely on their cultivation experience to determine the appropriate range of environmental parameters by observing the growth status of spirulina, and then manually set control thresholds. These parameters are then adjusted through multiple trials and errors until the growth status of spirulina improves. In addition, some existing technologies introduce simple environmental parameter linkage control methods to reduce the number of trials. However, the design logic of these existing technologies still focuses on ensuring that environmental parameters reach the preset thresholds, paying more attention to the achievement of environmental parameter standards, and rarely considering the matching degree between parameter control and the actual photosynthetic metabolic state of spirulina. For example, setting a carbon dioxide concentration of 5%, and stopping the adjustment of carbon dioxide once it reaches 5%, may not be the actual requirement of spirulina at that moment. At a certain growth stage, spirulina may actually require 4% carbon dioxide; even if the parameter reaches 5%, it does not meet its true photosynthetic metabolic needs.
[0004] Therefore, existing biophotoreactors cannot meet the actual photosynthetic metabolic needs of spirulina. Summary of the Invention

[0053] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0054] This application provides a method for preparing a photobiophotoreactor. The execution subject of this method includes, but is not limited to, at least one electronic device configured to execute the method provided in this application, such as a server or a terminal. In other words, the method for preparing the photobiophotoreactor can be executed by software or hardware installed on a terminal device or a server device. The server includes, but is not limited to, a single server, a server cluster, a cloud server, or a cloud server cluster.
[0055] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a method for preparing a photobioreactor according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method for preparing the photobioreactor includes:
[0056] Reference Figure 2 The diagram shown illustrates a conventional threshold control method for a photobioreactor preparation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This diagram shows the threshold management interface of a photobioreactor in existing technology. It typically reflects the design logic of traditional environmental parameter regulation, which takes achieving a fixed parameter range as the core regulation goal and presets environmental parameters such as temperature, light, pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and turbidity to fixed numerical threshold ranges.
[0057] S1. A carbon dioxide sensor and an oxygen sensor are installed in a transparent tank to collect the difference in carbon dioxide concentration and the difference in oxygen concentration in the transparent tank through the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor.
[0058] This invention provides an embodiment of the invention that uses carbon dioxide and oxygen sensors installed in a transparent container to monitor the activity of a preset carboxylase. Since it is difficult to directly monitor the activity of the preset carboxylase, this indirect monitoring method can be used to monitor the activity of the preset carboxylase.
[0059] The oxygen sensor primarily reflects the oxygen concentration in the gas by detecting the oxygen content, while the carbon dioxide sensor calculates the carbon dioxide concentration in the gas by detecting the absorption characteristics of carbon dioxide to specific infrared light.
[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of setting a carbon dioxide sensor and an oxygen sensor in a transparent tank includes: opening through holes in the tank wall to insert the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor respectively.
[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, graphene and foam insulation are used to maintain a stable temperature inside the transparent tank.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transparent tank is insulated with graphene and foam.
[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor collect the difference in carbon dioxide concentration and the difference in oxygen concentration in the transparent tank, so as to calculate the activity of the subsequent preset carboxylase by means of the concentration change.
[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of collecting the carbon dioxide concentration difference and oxygen concentration difference in the transparent tank through the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor includes: simultaneously collecting the top gas phase carbon dioxide concentration and the bottom liquid phase carbon dioxide concentration through the carbon dioxide sensor; subtracting the bottom liquid phase carbon dioxide concentration from the top gas phase carbon dioxide concentration to obtain the carbon dioxide concentration difference; simultaneously collecting the top gas phase oxygen concentration and the bottom liquid phase oxygen concentration through the oxygen sensor; subtracting the bottom liquid phase oxygen concentration from the top gas phase oxygen concentration to obtain the oxygen concentration difference.
[0065] It should be noted that the carbon dioxide sensor and oxygen sensor mentioned above are respectively equipped with gas phase detection type and liquid phase detection type.
[0066] S2. Connect the edge computing module to the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor respectively, so as to calculate the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of spirulina in the transparent tank through the difference in carbon dioxide concentration and the difference in oxygen concentration.
[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the edge computing module is connected to the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor respectively, so that the collected concentration data is transmitted to the edge computing module, which then performs the specific calculations.
[0068] The edge computing module is an embedded computing control unit deployed locally on the photobioreactor to collect and process various sensor data and perform calculations such as the carboxy-oxygen ratio.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, connecting the edge computing module to the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor respectively includes: crimping the output lines of the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor to the analog input terminal of the edge computing module to complete the physical connection.
[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of spirulina in the transparent container is calculated by the difference between the carbon dioxide concentration and the difference between the oxygen concentration, so as to represent the activity of the preset carboxylase by the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio, thereby quantifying the actual photosynthetic metabolic requirements of the preset carboxylase.
[0071] Specifically, the preset carboxylase refers to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, also known as Rubisco. Rubisco is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both carboxylation and oxygenation reactions. When Rubisco combines with carbon dioxide, it forms an oxygenated product that effectively reduces photorespiration, increases photosynthetic efficiency, and rapidly promotes the growth and development of spirulina. However, when Rubisco combines with oxygen, it forms an oxygenated product that causes photorespiration, leading to carbon loss and thus halting the growth of spirulina.
[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of calculating the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of spirulina in the transparent tank by means of the difference in carbon dioxide concentration and the difference in oxygen concentration includes: querying the basic respiration rate of the spirulina; and calculating the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of the spirulina based on the difference in carbon dioxide concentration, the difference in oxygen concentration, and the basic respiration rate.
[0073] The basal respiration rate is the baseline value of the difference in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration between the gas and liquid phases caused by basal respiration of Spirulina under standard culture conditions and in a non-photosynthetic state.
[0074] In another embodiment of the present invention, querying the basic respiration rate of the spirulina includes: pre-storing the basic respiration rate of the spirulina under standard culture conditions in an edge computing module; and querying the basic respiration rate of the spirulina in the edge computing module.
[0075] The standard culture environment refers to the standardized culture conditions required for calibrating the basic respiration rate of Spirulina. Specifically, it includes: pre-cleaning and sterilizing the photobioreactor; using Ethiocarbazin medium as the nutrient solution; controlling the pH of the nutrient solution at approximately 9-11; setting the culture temperature at 33-35℃; providing complete shading to block photosynthesis; using an aeration pump to ensure the algal solution flows at a speed of 4-6 cm to guarantee uniform contact with nutrients and discharge of metabolic products; maintaining a carbon dioxide concentration of 1200-1300 ppm and a dissolved oxygen concentration of 8.4-8.5 Mg / L; and ensuring the algal solution's optical density (OD value) is 0.1 at inoculation. Furthermore, it avoids environmental conditions where the dissolved oxygen concentration exceeds the carbon dioxide concentration, preventing the Rubisco enzyme from binding with oxygen. It should be noted that the specific parameters in these standard culture environments are suitable parameters determined by previous experiments and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0076] Reference Figure 3 The image shown is a schematic diagram of the Ethio culture medium used in a method for preparing a photobioreactor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The document contains a formula for Zaluk medium, which clearly lists the specific amounts of each reagent used when preparing 1L and 50L of medium. It can be used to guide the preparation of medium for Spirulina culture.
[0077] In another embodiment of the present invention, the step of calculating the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of the spirulina based on the carbon dioxide concentration difference, the oxygen concentration difference, and the basal respiration rate includes: calculating the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio of the spirulina using the following formula:
[0078]
[0079] in, This indicates the preset carboxyl-oxygen ratio of the carboxylase. This represents the difference in carbon dioxide concentration. This represents the difference in oxygen concentration. This indicates the basal respiratory rate.
[0080] It should be noted that the preset carboxyl-oxygen ratio of carboxylase is essentially the ratio of the rate at which the enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation reaction to the rate at which it catalyzes the oxygenation reaction.
[0081] S3. Connect the edge computing module to the growth control module in the transparent tank to configure the edge computing module to generate instructions that convert the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio into the regulation instructions of the growth control module.
[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, connecting the edge computing module to the growth control module in the transparent tank includes: connecting the output terminals of the edge computing module to the corresponding control ports of the illumination module, temperature control component, water flow drive component, and carbon dioxide replenishment valve respectively using shielded wires, so as to connect the edge computing module to the growth control module in the transparent tank.
[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the edge computing module is configured to convert the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio into a control instruction of the growth control module. This allows the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio to reflect the activity of the preset carboxylase. By observing the activity of the preset carboxylase, various environmental parameters can be controlled, thereby enabling the subsequently prepared biophotoreactor to meet the actual photosynthetic metabolic needs of spirulina.
[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, the instruction generation function of configuring the edge computing module to convert the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio into a regulation instruction of the growth control module includes: embedding a preset optimal range of carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio corresponding to spirulina growth in the edge computing module; configuring a threshold comparison logic of the edge computing module, wherein the threshold comparison logic includes: generating a regulation instruction to inhibit photorespiration and promote carboxylation reaction when the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is lower than the preset optimal range of carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio, and generating a regulation instruction to optimize carbon source supply and improve oxygen release efficiency when the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is higher than the preset optimal range of carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio; and establishing an instruction output protocol of the edge computing module so that the generated regulation instruction matches the communication interface of the growth control module, thereby completing the configuration of the instruction generation function.
[0085] The instruction output protocol is a communication rule that enables the control instructions generated by the edge computing module to be received by the growth control module. The instruction generation function is actually the function of converting the preset carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio into instructions.
[0086] It should be noted that the preset optimal range of carboxylase carboxyl-oxygen ratio is a numerical range calculated by Spirulina in a standard culture environment with added light. This means that the aforementioned standard culture environment is without light, while the culture here is to enable Spirulina to grow efficiently. Therefore, additional light is added here, while other parameters remain unchanged. The suitable light intensity for Spirulina growth is generally maintained at 20-400 lux.
[0087] Optionally, when the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is lower than the preset optimal range for carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio, it means that the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is lower than the lower limit of the preset optimal range for carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio. Further, the process of generating the regulatory command to inhibit photorespiration and promote carboxylation mainly includes increasing the carbon dioxide input, accelerating the algal liquid flow rate through an aeration pump to reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration in the liquid phase, moving the light intensity closer to a fixed range, and moving the temperature closer to a fixed range. Each adjustment is made according to the smallest unit. For example, if the smallest unit of these types of parameters is... 1. When increasing the carbon dioxide input, increase the carbon dioxide input by 1 unit. When accelerating the algal liquid flow rate through the aeration pump to reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration in the liquid phase, increase the flow rate by 1 unit. When moving the light intensity closer to a fixed range, if the standard light range is 20-400 lux, and the midpoint of 20-400 lux is B, and the current light intensity is greater than B, then decrease the current light intensity by 1 unit to move closer to B; otherwise, increase it by 1 unit to move closer to B. The principle of moving the temperature closer to a fixed range is similar to that of moving the light intensity closer to a fixed range, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0088] Optionally, when the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is higher than the preset optimal range for carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio, it means that the preset carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio is higher than the upper limit of the preset optimal range for carboxylase carboxy-oxygen ratio. Further, the process of generating the control command to optimize carbon source supply and improve oxygen release efficiency mainly includes reducing excessive carbon dioxide input, further accelerating the algal liquid flow rate through an aeration pump to improve oxygen release efficiency, maintaining light intensity within a fixed range, and maintaining temperature within a fixed range. Each adjustment is made according to the smallest unit. For example, if these types of parameters... The smallest unit is 1. Therefore, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide input means reducing the amount of carbon dioxide input by 1 unit. To further increase the flow rate of algal solution and thus improve oxygen release efficiency by using an aeration pump, the flow rate is increased by 1 unit. When maintaining the light intensity within a fixed range, if the standard light intensity range is 20-400 lux, and the midpoint of 20-400 lux is B, when the current light intensity deviates from B, it is adjusted by 1 unit each time in the direction of B to maintain stability within the range. The principle of maintaining the temperature within a fixed range is similar to that of maintaining the light intensity within a fixed range, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0089] S4. The growth control module includes a light module, a temperature control component, a water flow drive component, and a carbon dioxide replenishment valve.
[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, the light module is a dedicated lighting component that provides light intensity in the range of 20-400 lux for the photosynthetic growth of spirulina. The temperature control component is a regulating device that can maintain the spirulina cultivation temperature in the range of 33-35℃. The core achieves temperature stability through a graphene heating film and a foam insulation structure. The water flow driving component is a power component that can control the flow of algal solution at a speed of 4-6 cm / s, such as an air pump. By driving the flow of algal solution, it ensures that it receives light from all directions and realizes gas emission. The carbon dioxide replenishment valve is a valve component that regulates the amount of carbon dioxide input in the spirulina cultivation system, and can increase or decrease the carbon dioxide supply as needed.
[0091] S5. After deploying the transparent tank, the carbon dioxide sensor, the oxygen sensor, the edge computing module, the growth control module, and the instruction generation function, the photobiophotoreactor is prepared.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preparation of the photobiophotoreactor includes: assembling a transparent tank, a carbon dioxide sensor, an oxygen sensor, an edge computing module, a growth control module, and an instruction generation function into a dedicated testing fixture, and introducing standard air into the transparent tank; checking whether the concentration deviation between the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor is within the standard range under the condition of introducing standard air; and performing a water pressure holding test on the transparent tank when the concentration deviation between the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor is within the standard range, so that the photobiophotoreactor is prepared after confirming that there is no leakage in the transparent tank.
[0093] Optionally, the transparent tank, all sensors, modules, and command generation functions are assembled into a dedicated testing fixture, and standard air is introduced into the transparent tank. The dedicated testing fixture is a customized fixed support and pipeline connection fixture, which can achieve stable assembly of each component and connection of the gas passage. Introducing standard air into the tank relies on conventional gas delivery and pipeline control technology. The introduced air is atmospheric pressure clean standard air that meets industrial standards, with known conventional concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Furthermore, under the scenario of introducing standard air, the concentration deviation between the carbon dioxide sensor and the oxygen sensor is checked to see if it is within the standard range. The real-time detection values of the sensor are compared with the standard concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air to calculate the deviation between the actual detection values and the standard values, thereby verifying the accuracy of the sensor in measuring gas concentration. Furthermore, a water pressure holding test is performed on the transparent tank: clean water is filled into the transparent tank through a dedicated water inlet and pressurized to the pressure holding pressure specified in the equipment design. After closing all passages, the pressure holding time is maintained for the set duration. The water pressure holding test is a routine method for testing the sealing performance of closed containers such as photobioreactor tanks, and is used to determine whether there are any sealing defects. Finally, when there are no sealing defects, the preparation of the photobioreactor is completed.
