How a Glass Photobioreactor Works

A glass photobioreactor operates by combining controlled illumination with aeration and nutrient supply. Light energy drives photosynthesis, while CO₂ is supplied as a carbon source.

The system ensures efficient mixing and gas exchange, maintaining optimal growth conditions for photosynthetic organisms. Advanced control systems allow precise adjustment of key parameters to maximize productivity.
