This study was designed to examine carbon utilization within scalable microalgae production systems. Neochloris oleoabundans was produced in replicated troughs containing BG11 nutrient formulation. Atmospheric CO(2) was supplemented with ∼5% CO(2) or with NaHCO(3), and the pH of troughs receiving NaHCO(3) was adjusted with HCl or H(3)PO(4). Peak biomass concentrations reached 950, 1140, or 850 mg L(-1) and biomass productivities of 109, 96, and 74 mg L(-1) day(-1) were achieved in the CO(2), NaHCO(3):HCl and NaHCO(3):H(3)PO(4) troughs, respectively. The highest productivity is expected in a scaled-up continuous batch process of the CO(2) supplemented system, which was projected to yield 8948 L lipids ha(-1)yr(-1). Carbon utilization in the CO(2), NaHCO(3):HCl and NaHCO(3):H(3)PO(4) systems was ∼0.5, 15.5, and 12.9%, while the energy content of the combustible biomass was 26.7, 13.2, and 15.4 MJ kg(-1), respectively. Techno-economic analyses of microalgal production systems should consider efficiencies and cost-benefit of various carbon sources.
本研究旨在考察规模化微藻生产系统中的碳利用情况。采用 BG11 营养配方在重复的水槽中生产 Neochloris oleoabundans。用约 5%的 CO2 或 NaHCO3 补充大气 CO2,并使用 HCl 或 H3PO4 调节接受 NaHCO3 的水槽的 pH 值。在 CO2、NaHCO3:HCl 和 NaHCO3:H3PO4 水槽中,分别达到了 950、1140 或 850mg/L 的峰值生物量浓度和 109、96 和 74mg/L/d 的生物量生产力。在补充 CO2 的规模化连续批量过程中,预计最高生产力为 8948L 油脂 ha-1yr-1。CO2、NaHCO3:HCl 和 NaHCO3:H3PO4 系统中的碳利用率分别约为 0.5%、15.5%和 12.9%,而可燃生物质的能量含量分别为 26.7、13.2 和 15.4MJ/kg。微藻生产系统的技术经济分析应考虑各种碳源的效率和成本效益。
