Desarrollo de un prototipo de sistema de control de temperatura aplicado a un fotobiorreactor Airlift para la producción de biomasa microalgal.

Abstract

This project aims to develop a temperature control system, to an airlift photobioreactor applied to the cultivation of a variety of microalgae, housed in a type of embedded system, PSoC 5LP, taking advantage of its larger scale of integration of internal components, analog and digital’s on a single chip (SOC) for these types of tasks. With the above, the flexibility and speed of adaptation to the system design is gained, reducing the implementation time and the required circuit space. Taking as a precedent that within the photobioreactor a transformation bioprocess occurs in which its main actor is the microalgae. Taking into account that there are several variables that affect growth and the accumulation of metabolites in microalgae, it is important to determine the optimal growth conditions, to obtain the desired products according to each species and the ecosystem of origin.
