A photobioreactor (1) includes an upper layer of transparent film and a lower layer of film wherein the upper layer and lower layer are attached to each other along the perimeter to form a sealed structure, the upper layer and lower layer also attached to form pathways comprising independent channels within the confines of the outer perimeter, a first manifold (4) and second manifold (5) on opposite ends of the parallel channels within the sealed structure wherein a first portion of the first manifold is in fluid communication with each of an inlet of a first subset of the channels and a second portion of the first manifold is in fluid communication with each of an outlet of a second subset of the channels and wherein the second manifold is in fluid communications with the distal end of the parallel channels plumbing apparatus comprising a degas vessel in fluid communication with the first manifold; and wherein the structure is substantially horizontal in operation. |
