The production of microalgae in high energy as alternative source of organic and sustainable basis, passes through the implementation of research photobioreactors high efficiency.

Photoreactor define as microalgae or photobioreactor, a system able to generate the existing chlorophyll photosynthesis in marine ecosystems to produce microalgae, for multidisciplinary research purposes, and for the alternative biofuel production.

Contrary to what until recently was able to estimate, the sea can be an endless source of resources, both food and human health, chemical engineering, etc., And energy as liquid fuel oil substitute called " marine biodiesel, or biodiesel from algae. "

Indeed, according to latest research in marine biology, it is estimated that the energy reserve of humanity can be found in the oceans.

For almost 150 years, Leo Lesquerox (considered the father of palaeontology), said the Pennsylvania oil had originated from fossilized marine algae.

Currently, the production of biodiesel from marine algae is already a reality. In fact there is growing countries with large-scale cultivation of algae dedicated to obtaining the coveted "green gold" industrial scale.

To produce seaweed, you need the following essential components: specific selective solar radiation, water, carbon dioxide, essential nutrients and some devices called photobioreactors, based on efficient chemical engineering calculations with precise control of fluid dynamics and optimized Reynolds number , feedback variable turbidity, temperature, homogeneous light output, high-performance, low power consumption, long life and low cost, microfiltration systems for easy cleaning, automatic control of gas flow and nutrient addition, and mixing prechamber collection hoppers product, etc., all under computer control and monitoring.

With algae and biodiesel produced is obtained, which also consume CO2 (instead of producing it), you can get farmers back to devote their crops to food, instead of tipping indiscriminately on farm biodiesel production, as is happening today.

As a comparative example, we can say that there are unicellular algae capable of producing 130,000 liters of biodiesel per acre, whereas if the same land to cultivate sunflower, obtained only 500 liters.

Therefore, algae are the only source of biodiesel can replace petroleum. CCI project made under various types of photobioreactors research laboratory for growth of algae pilot scale, based on:

• Macromolecular structure tubes of different diameters and lengths. -

• Pyrex glass tubes of different diameters and lengths.
• Macromolecular plate cameras of various capacities.
• Chambers of tempered glass in various capacities.
• Macromolecular deposits of various sizes and capacities.
• Etc.

The photobioreactors produced by ITC can be installed external environmental conditions, mobile units of different capacities, or simulated controlled climatic chambers, as shown in the attached image. With the photobioreactor designed by ITC, it is possible to investigate the yield from the crops under the existing climatic conditions in various regions of the Earth and in different seasons of the year, without need for expensive travel. This makes it possible to determine the possible laboratory scale production estimated in each geographical region of the planet.

In all cases light photosynthetic active radiation, optoelectronic technology based on long-lived (up to 100,000 hours) is equivalent to that emitted by the sun's radiant energy providing up to 1,000 W/m2 average value per second, adjustable intensity .
