Project PBRC - Industrial Research and Development

Italian Patent: N. 0001427412

Introduction

With this proposal, we offer the opportunity to initiate the development of a series of PBRC algae cultivation plants aimed at producing specific algal strains. These plants are designed to ensure significant flexibility and can receive various nutrient feeding diets, contributing to a sustainable approach in biomass production

Project Objectives

• Sustainable Production: Utilizing renewable sources and by-products from other local processes to feed the algal cultivations.
• Versatility: The plants will be adaptable for different purposes, including the remediation of industrial process waters and the production of functional biomass for food, protein, or oil purposes, as well as for biofuel production.
• Customization: Each plant will be designed to meet the specific sizes and needs of the interested companies.

Business Plan

Project: PBRC - PhotoBioReactor Continuous

Objective:

To initiate a pre-assembly and testing site (including procedures and manuals) for the production of PhotoBioReactor tanks.

Target Audience:

• Prefab Companies (CLS)
• Power LED Operators
• Hydromechanics Companies
• Financial Investors
• Agro and Biogas/Biomethane Sector Operators

Project Overview:

The project aims to establish a production site, encompassing everything from design to assembly (with provisions for delivery and rapid installation). It will focus on developing procedures tailored to the agreed-upon productions with clients, based on the available products for feeding and the intended destinations of the produced outputs.

The collection and use of microalgae is a very ancient practice, dating back to pre-Columbian civilizations. The Aztecs cultivated Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira) over 5,000 years ago in Lake Texcoco, Mexico.

Today, among the Kanembu people of Chad and Nigeria, microalgae are still harvested from Lake Kossorom. Filtered and dried, they are used in various culinary forms, including souce, a highly nutritious vegetable broth.

Algal Cultivation System for Food, Pharmaceutical, and Energy Use

Photo Bio Reactor Continuous (PBRC)

PBRC is an integrated and compact system designed for the cultivation of microalgae (unicellular organisms), in combination with appropriately sized anaerobic digesters. It is targeted towards small manufacturing companies in the agri-food sector as well as urban and peri-urban settlements.

The system features an innovative hydraulic design aimed at the joint production of oil and protein products for energy purposes and human and animal consumption (feed-food chain), as well as for the chemical-pharmaceutical industry.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE HOMOGENEOUS AND DELIMITED MIXING OF FLUIDS

Device and Method for the homogeneous and delimited mixing of fluids, both liquid and gaseous, forming part of a fluid mass in motion or in state of rest. The method comprises:

• taking part of the material from said fluid mass;
• making a vigorous mixing of the fluid material taken;
• reinserting the fluid mixed material into said fluid mass;

The device (A, B) comprises:

• a first manifold (1, 10), closed at both ends, on which a first plurality of holes (1a, 10a) is made, aligned along a generatrix of said first manifold (1,10);
• a second manifold (2, 20), closed at both ends, on which it is made a second plurality of holes (2a, 20a) aligned along a generatrix of said second manifold (2, 20);
• a pipe (3, 3a) that connects said first manifold (1, 10) with said second manifold (2, 20);
• pumping means (4), inserted in said pipe (3, 3a), which cause a movement of a fluid contained in said pipe (3, 3a) by said first manifold (1, 10) towards said second manifold (2, 20);
