摘要: The scalability of microalgae growth systems is a primary research topic in anticipation the commercialization microalgae-based biofuels. To date, there little published data on productivity that are scalable to commercially viable footprints. inform development more detailed assessments industrial-scale biofuel processes, this paper presents construction and validation model biomass lipid accumulation an outdoor, photobioreactor. incorporates time-resolved simulation based solar irradiation, species specific characteristics, photobioreactor geometry. validated with 9 weeks from industrially-scaled outdoor Discussion focuses sensitivity input parameters, comparison predicted literature, analysis implications biofuels lifecycle assessment studies.
