Von der hinteren Coverseite

Algal Bioreactors: Science, Engineering and Technology of Upstream Processes is Volume I of a comprehensive two-volume set that provides all of the knowledge needed to design, develop, and operate algal bioreactors for the production of renewable resources. Supported by critical parameters and properties, mathematical models and calculations, methods, and practical real-world case studies, readers will find everything they need to know on the upstream and downstream processes of algal bioreactors for renewable resource production.

Divided into five parts, Volume I addresses all aspects of the upstream processes in algal bioreactors. Part I explains the fundamental aspects of algae production, from bioreactors and algal strains to global market potential for bioproducts, investments, and intellectual property considerations. Part II examines the science and engineering criteria for algal bioreactors, with models and practical examples on the optimal conditions for algae growth, kinetic parameters, hydrodynamic performance, contamination control, and all other considerations for the development and operation of bioreactors. Part III analyses the various bioreactor designs, including air-lift, flat-plate, tubular, columnar, bubble column, hybrid, annular, and membrane photobioreactors, industrial fermenters, fluidized and packed beds, and the exergy and design considerations. Part IV discusses the bioprocesses and bioproducts of bioenergetic and biochemical origin obtained in these reaction vessels, while Part V explores the key criteria for the operation of this equipment for renewable feedstock production, incorporating environmental and sustainability issues.

Bringing together renowned experts in microalgal biotechnology, Algal Bioreactors: Science, Engineering and Technology of Upstream Processes will help researchers, scientists, and engineers from academia and industry to overcome barriers and advance the production of renewable resources and renewable energy from algae. Students will also find invaluable explanations of the fundamentals and key principles of algal bioreactors, making it an accessible read for students of engineering, microbiology, biochemistry, biotechnology, and environmental sciences.
