It is particularly important to provide comprehensive and reasonable nutritional conditions and ecological conditions.
[0003] However, the following problems still exist in actual use:
[0004] In the existing cultivation process, a smaller-capacity culture container can be stirred by manually shaking its interior, but a larger-capacity culture container cannot be stirred by manually shaking. Most of them use a plurality of air stones arranged in the cultivation equipment to supplement the delivery of oxygen and carbon dioxide, or use a stirring rake for manual mixing, which can easily cause the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in some areas to be too high and the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in other areas to be too low. In addition, manual stirring is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is inefficient due to the influence of time and frequency, thereby affecting the uniform growth of algae and the overall cultivation effect.
