| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a photobioreactor for the production of phototropic organisms, especially (micro)algae, which reactor comprises at least a reactor component in which a mixture of a liquid and some phototropic organisms has been or is to be introduced, where the reactor component comprises one or more tubes whose walls are at least partly transparent in order to allow daylight to enter the reactor component to enable the organisms in it to carry out their photosynthesis, also comprising an inlet, connected to the reactor component, for introducing the liquid and/or the phototropic organisms, an outlet, connected to the reactor component, for removing the mixture of the liquid and the resulting phototropic organisms, as well as a cleaning system connected to the reactor component, for the mechanical cleaning of the inside surface of the tubes so that it can continue to allow sufficient daylight to enter for the photosynthesis, where the cleaning system comprises a first cleaning station, which is mounted between the inlet and the reactor component, a second cleaning station, which is mounted between the reactor component and the outlet, a cleaning tool that can move to and fro between the cleaning stations, along the reactor component, where the shape and size of the cleaning tool are adjusted according to the inside surface of the walls of the tubes of the reactor component in order to clean these walls by the movement of the cleaning tool. |
