DILUTING EXHAUST GAS BEING SUPPLIED TO BIOREACTOR

摘要

There is provided a process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone. The reaction zone includes a reaction mixture that is operative for effecting photosynthesis upon exposure to photosynthetically active light radiation. The reaction mixture includes phototrophic biomass that is operative for growth within the reaction zone. The growth of the phototrophic biomass includes that which is effected by the photosynthesis. The process includes, while a reaction zone feed material is supplied to the reaction zone, supplying the reaction zone feed material with a supplemental gaseous dilution agent, wherein the molar concentration of carbon dioxide of the supplemental gaseous dilution agent is less than the molar concentration of carbon dioxide of the gaseous exhaust material reaction zone supply which is being supplied to the reaction zone feed material.
