The control system developed allows the management of the entire microalgae production plant, from the preparation of the culture medium to its entry into the reactors, the pH control and finally the havesting and valorization of biomass. This system allows the maximization of the efficiency of use of the combustion gases, so that over 95 percent of the content thereof is efficiently absorbed my microalgae and thus removed from the flue gases.
The CO2ALGAEFIX project, initiative supported by the European Union, has developed a control system for microalgae production plants that allows the monitoring, control and optimization of the operation of these facilities. "This breakthrough represents a milestone in the development of these type of technology and could be used in any microalgae production plant".
