It has the characteristics of large lighting area and is suitable for large-scale open-air cultivation. When the pipe-type photobioreactor cultivates microalgae in the open air, dust and scale will gradually accumulate on the surface of the reactor pipe, causing the light received by the microalgae in the reactor to weaken, affecting the growth of the microalgae. Therefore, the pipe-type bioreactor needs to be cleaned regularly.
