There is provided an Algae growth system which combines the advantages of closed systems with the simplicity and low costs of open systems, the system having a transparent photo-bioreactor device which has a pair of longitudinal, flat, transparent side walls, a curved base connecting the bottom edges of the pair of flat side walls parallel to each other, a pair of rounded, corner-less end walls, connecting and sealing the side edges of the pair of flat side walls, an air tube extending along said curved base, a lid situated on the top edges of the pair of flat side walls and an outlet formed in one end of the curved base wall for drainage of the bioreactor, and a blowing means for providing air flow, wherein the blowing means provides the air flow through a medium in said bioreactor, for developing a vortex in the medium containing the algae, thereby preventing sinking of Algae and causing them to be uniformly exposed to light. |
