| titleOfInvention | Photo-bioreactor and method for cultivating biomass by photosynthesis |
| abstract | The present invention relates to the field of photo-bioreactors for cultivating biomass such as algae. The document relates to novel photo-bioreactors and methods of cultivation using the bioreactors. There is provided a photo-bioreactor having a generally planar reservoir for containing a fluid growth medium while allowing incident light to penetrate the growth medium. In one aspect a plurality of fixed lensing means are distributed in an array above and generally parallel to the reservoir, each lensing means being adapted to concentrate light passing therethrough into the growth medium so as to form a correspondingly distributed plurality of regions of relatively high light intensity and relatively low light intensity in the growth medium. In another aspect a reactor back wall may be provided with a reflective surface to reflect unabsorbed light back through a growth medium. The reflection may be diffuse, specular or involve a Stokes shift. In another aspect a base wall portion of the reservoir may include a gas permeable membrane which facilitates gas transfer, in particular carbon dioxide into the reservoir and oxygen from the reservoir. |
