A mathematical model of microalgal growth in light‐limited chemostat culture

Abstract: A mathematical model for light‐limited growth of a continuous microalgal culture is proposed. Average light intensity inside the photobioreactor was calculated, taking light attenuation by algae into account. The biomass absorption coefficient was determined by means of two new parameters, the pigment‐free biomass, YB, and the total pigment absorption, Yp (absorption coefficient normalized to total pigment content). The model reproduced the steady states reached and the dynamic behaviour of the system when the… Show more

“…Sobre consideraciones simplificatorias basadas en la configuración de la unidad experimental se propone luego un modelado del crecimiento de la biomasa en sus fases exponencial y lineal, introduciendo el efecto de atenuación en las etapas de media y alta concentración mediante una variante simplificada de la cinética propuesta previamente por Molina Grima et al (1994), obteniéndose resultados estadísticamente satisfactorios.…”

“…Grima et al (1994), propuseram um modelo matemático para o crescimento contínuo de uma cultura microalgal limitada por luz, utilizando o coeficiente de absorção da biomassa. O modelo reproduziu os estados estacionários atingidos e o comportamento dinâmico do sistema.…”

“…The algae cells closer to light source receive higher irradiance than cells further away. Grima et al proposed an empirical relationship between light attenuation and biomass concentration, and verified its accuracy for several types of freshwater microalga, P. tricornutum [19]. The model was later validated for different algae species and photobioreactor orientations in literature [20].…”
