OCEANUS SEMINAR SERIES | 31 MAY 2023 | ALDO BARREIRO FELPETO | 11:30

 

Title: Increasing photobioreactor yields with continuous perfusion

Biomass production of photoautotrophic microorganisms at large scales is logistically more complex and overall limited compared to that of heterotrophs. Here we show the performance of a perfusion system, driven by microfluidic dynamics, that significantly enhances biomass yields and facilitates harvesting in continuous photobioreactors at no additional cost.

 

Name: Aldo Barreiro Felpeto (CIIMAR)

Aldo Barreiro Felpeto is an auxiliary researcher at CIIMAR. His field of expertise is plankton ecology and has extensive experience with the experimental use of continuous photobioreactors.

 

The seminar will take place at CIIMAR headquarters (Boca da Baleia Auditorium).
