APPARATUS FOR CULTURING ALGAE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for culturing algae capable of utilizing both direct transmitting light and scattered light and increasing the amount of a culture solution per unit area at a lower cost. SOLUTION: This apparatus 1 for culturing algae is equipped with plural reactor modules 6 for culturing microalgae in a culture solution L. The reactor modules 6 are mutually separated and supported in a parallel state and each of the reactor modules 6 has each pair of transparent plates 8 forming culture spaces K for the microalgae between the mutual plates 8 and framelike supporting members 9, 10 and 11 for supporting the peripheral parts of each pair of the transparent plates 8 in a hermetically sealed state so that the culture solution L and a gas G containing gaseous carbon dioxide can be made to flow in the culture spaces K. The plural reactor modules 6 are stood to separate the mutual transparent plates 8 in the parallel state.
