Disposable panel reactors have been proposed as low-cost, easy-to-operate and low-contamination systems for microalgae biomass production. Disposable panels were independently developed at University of Florence (WO 2004/074423) and Ben-Gurion University (WO 2005/006838) in the early 2000s. The "Green Wall Panel" (GWP), as the reactor developed at Florence was called, has been extensively employed for the outdoor cultivation at pilot scale of numerous marine algae, such as Tetraselmis, Nannochloropsis and Isochrysis. Outdoor production capacity and current limits of this reactor were tested in Tuscany during different seasons. The reactor was characterized for hydrodinamics and energetics.

Abstract
Disposable panel reactors have been proposed as low-cost, easy-to-operate and low-contamination systems for microalgae biomass production. Disposable panels were independently developed at University of Florence (WO 2004/074423) and Ben-Gurion University (WO 2005/006838) in the early 2000s. The "Green Wall Panel" (GWP), as the reactor developed at Florence was called, has been extensively employed for the outdoor cultivation at pilot scale of numerous marine algae, such as Tetraselmis, Nannochloropsis and Isochrysis. Outdoor production capacity and current limits of this reactor were tested in Tuscany during different seasons. The reactor was characterized for hydrodinamics and energetics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
