Described is a continuous flow photobioreactor for the optimum reproduction of micro-algae and water separation therefrom, which includes a tubular structure where the micro-algae photosynthesis is performed as well as the water separation and dried thereof; the inventive device comprises a cylinder (14) which has a hollowed cover (1) for connecting hoses intended to inject nutrients, and smaller orifices (2) for exhausting gases. The cylinder includes LEDs (3) located at the inner portion thereof, and a PH catalyst (4) and a thermometer (5) at the outer portion thereof, while a liquid outlet is located at the lower portion of the cylinder (6). This latter element is supported by a metallic structure (13) which also supports at the lower left portion thereof a separating container (10) which has filters (11) arranged at the upper portion thereof. A refracting heater (9) is located at the lower right portion of the structure under a Teflon container (8) and a fan (7) for homogenising C arbon Dioxide with Oxygen. A metallic spring and hydraulic pistons (12) for generating an oscillator motion are located at the inner portion of the structure.
