The invention aims to produce biodiesel from micro-algae at low cost to replace the hydrocarbon fuels by modifying the design of conventional photo-bioreactor to increase its capacity for algae growth and increase the yield at minimal cost. By changing the design of photo-bioreactor; making it in form of long triangular structure with rectangular boxes present at each side of the triangle has provided more space for the cultivation of algae at minimal cost. The invention will consist of three photo-bioreactors one above the other with slanting side present at a varying angle of 30-60 depending upon the sunlight falling on the area; connected via pumps and pipes to ensure continuous flow of algae water and consist of long reflectors long the side of photo-bioreactor to reflect sunlight onto them. The solar panels on each side of the photo-bioreactor provide sufficient energy required to run the machinery. The reuse of byproducts during the products has reduced the overall cost. |
