Abstract
The new multifunctional “Algae Lab” was established by our research team in West Parana State University of Toledo. Several microalgae strains were isolated and identified by applying modern molecular techniques. The system analysis theory was applied when developing and designing novel flat plate pho-tobioreactors (FP-PBRs). One of the objectives of this study was to use computing fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to support the scale up procedure of (FP-PBRs). The improved hydrodynamics of the construction reflected in optimal flashing-light effects and yielding in high cell density cultures.
