    摘要: Photobioreactor devices and units for the production of biomass and remediation of environmental contamination are provided. The bioreactor devices comprise a membrane photobioreactor (PBR), the PBR comprising a liquid medium, at least one photosynthetic microorganism, and at least one outer membrane layer, wherein the membrane layer is comprised of a material that is permeable to gas transfer across the membrane layer; and further comprise a chamber defining a gaseous atmosphere enclosed within, wherein the PBR is located inside the chamber. The devices also comprise a control system which controls the composition of the atmosphere within the chamber. Gas transfer occurs across the membrane layer of the PBR, between the PBR and the atmosphere comprised within the chamber. Systems comprising the devices are provided as well as methods of using the devices for the production of biomass, remediation of wastewater and removal of atmospheric pollutants.

    摘要: A liquid substrate tank for a biogas plant includes an interior fillable with a liquid substrate and a bottom wall defining the interior on the bottom and being particularly at least regionally flat. A trough-shaped recess extending over a partial region of the bottom wall is formed in the bottom wall, to which and/or into which recess an extraction line of an extraction device is guided. The extraction device has an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device actuating the extraction device for extracting a substrate/sand mixture accumulating in the recess during operation from the recess and thus from the interior through the extraction line. The extraction device has an accommodation and/or sedimentation tank, or separator, connected to the extraction line relative to flow for accommodating or separating the substrate/sand mixture extracted through the extraction line into substrate and sand phases.
