发明名称 Process for growing biomass by modulating supply of gas to reaction zone
摘要 There is provided a process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone. Gaseous exhaust material is produced with a gaseous exhaust material producing process, wherein the gaseous exhaust material includes carbon dioxide. A discharge of the gaseous exhaust material is supplied to the reaction zone and is modulated. A bypass gaseous exhaust material, being supplied to another unit operation, is also modulated.

主权项 1. A process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone, wherein the reaction zone includes an operative reaction mixture, wherein the operative reaction mixture includes the phototrophic biomass disposed in an aqueous medium, comprising: producing gaseous exhaust material with a gaseous exhaust material producing process, wherein the gaseous exhaust material includes carbon dioxide; supplying reaction zone feed material to the reaction zone to effect a carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass; exposing the carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass disposed in the aqueous medium to photosynthetically active light radiation so as to effect photosynthesis; and modulating a discharge of the gaseous exhaust material from the gaseous exhaust material producing process based on sensing of at least one reaction zone parameter; wherein the modulating of the discharge of the gaseous exhaust material includes both of, in parallel: (i) modulation of a supply of the discharged gaseous exhaust material to the reaction zone feed material, wherein the discharged gaseous exhaust material which is supplied to the reaction zone feed material defines a gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply, such that the gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply, and the reaction zone feed material being supplied by the gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply includes carbon dioxide; and(ii) modulation of a supply of the discharged gaseous exhaust material to another unit operation, wherein the supply of the discharged gaseous exhaust material to the another unit operation defines a bypass gaseous exhaust material, wherein the bypass gaseous exhaust material includes carbon dioxide, and wherein the another unit operation converts the bypass gaseous exhaust material such that its environmental impact is reduced.
