Resumen En este trabajo se evaluó un Fotobiorreactor tipo Airlift (FBR) a escala banco para el cultivo y generación de biomasa microalgal. El proceso de evaluación se desarrolló en diferentes etapas desde el análisis de variables de diseño, selección de materiales, ensamblaje del equipo y pre-experimentación. El equipo comprende cuatro subsistemas: presión, temperatura, agitación y lumínico; cada uno de estos es descrito de acuerdo con los parámetros relevantes que garantizan el adecuado diseño teórico de los mismos. El funcionamiento del equipo fue verificado lo que permitió la determinación de las condiciones y rangos de operación básica del fotobiorreactor.Abstract This paper evaluates a bench-scale airlift photobioreactor (PBR) for the culture and generation of microalgal biomass. The evaluation process was developed in different stages from the analysis of design variables, selection of materials, equipment assembly, and preexperimentation. The equipment has four sub-systems: pressure, temperature, mixing, and light. Each one of those is described according to the relevant parameters that guarantee their adequate theoretical design. The functioning of the equipment was verified and this allowed us to determine the conditions and ranges of the photobioreactor basic operation.Palabras Clave: fotobiorreactor Airlift, biomasa, microalgas.
