METHOD OF GROWING MICROALGAE BIOMASS AND APPARATUS FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC C12N1/12 C12M1/00 C12M3/02 A01G33/00 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to biotechnology, namely to technology and instrumentation of the process of growing and obtaining biomass of microalgae, mainly plankton. Substance of the group of inventions consists in the fact that microalgae biomass growth is carried out in a single chamber of a bioreactor made in form of a vertically oriented parallelepiped, illumination of cultural mixture is carried out with artificial light sources installed on inner side of one of wide walls of bioreactor chamber by horizontally oriented rows by height of bioreactor chamber, and detergent heads are installed on inner side of opposite wall of bioreactor chamber so that around each source of artificial light are symmetrically arranged 4 washing heads. Cultural mixture is illuminated cyclically, at the beginning of each light cycle into cultural mixture, which pH value throughout all cycles is maintained in range of 8.5–9.5 by adding to the cultural mixture at the beginning of each light cycle a solution with lactic acid bacteria, the pH value of which is selected in range of 4.0–5.0, in amount 1–3 ml per 1 l of cultural mixture.

EFFECT: disclosed is a method of growing microalgae biomass.
