On-Demand
Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of Large-Scale Microalgae Photobioreactors
- Time
- 30 minutes
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring cutting-edge tools transforming the microalgae industry. Traditional methods of monitoring photobioreactors rely heavily on offline sample analysis—an approach that is time-consuming, error-prone, and susceptible to contamination. This session will introduce innovative, non-invasive techniques that enable real-time monitoring and control of microalgal growth and metabolism.
Key Topics Include:
- Limitations of traditional offline analysis in microalgal cultivation
- Advantages of automated, sensor-based monitoring systems
- Gas-phase composition analysis for tracking biomass productivity and photosynthetic quotient
- Integration of mass flow controllers, gas analyzers, and in-line probes
- Enhanced process control through online liquid-phase analytics
- Benefits for large-scale photobioreactor operations
This webinar will provide practical insights into how automation and sensor technology drive efficiency, reproducibility, and scalability in microalgal bioprocessing, whether you're a researcher, engineer, or industry professional.
