Photobioreactor technology has revolutionised microalgae production by optimising growth conditions. While there are several production systems available, choosing the best one depends on factors such as the algae strain, the desired product and production goals. Comparisons help to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each system.

Subitec offers the Flat Panel Airlift (FPA) system, a unique photobioreactor developed by the Fraunhofer Institute. In contrast to conventional designs, the FPA offers better light distribution, higher biomass yield and easier maintenance. It features higher productivity and product quality and is suitable for both laboratory research and large-scale production. Subitec’s comprehensive cultivation infrastructure and commitment to continuous improvement ensure efficient microalgal cultivation. Their systems, especially the industrial CM180 module, are designed for rapid assembly and transport. With efficient logistics and prompt spare parts delivery, Subitec ensures uninterrupted production.

Microalgae cultivation in the Flat-Panel-Airlift-Photobioreactors from Subitec is a highly sophisticated process that combines state-of-the-art technology with profound biological knowledge. The FPAs developed by the Fraunhofer Institute provide a unique cultivation environment to ensure optimal growth of microalgae.
