Abstract:
      Industrial-scale photoautotrophic microalgae biomass has low oil content, which cannot meet the requirements for biodiesel production. The cultivation process lacks guidance, and existing theoretical models have not been verified for industrial-scale applications. To predict and adjust the production process of large-scale industrial photobioreactors, the technical challenges and improvement measures for producing high oil content Nannochloropsis oceanica biomass were analyzed and discussed. Based on a light absorption coefficient(f2)estimation method and theoretical model of maximum biomass yield, a low-cost cultivation scheme to produce high oil content N. oceanica biomass was proposed, which was tested in a factory. Practice showed that under the conditions of runway pool 26 as a photoreactor, algal solution height of 15 cm, and nitrogen supply of 1/9 modified f/2 medium, the algal powder of N. oceanica with oil content higher than 30% was successfully produced. In conclusion, the established model for predicting the photosynthetic growth of N. oceanica is feasible, and by adjusting the height of the algal solution in the runway pool and the nitrogen content of the culture medium, the algal powder of N. oceanica with high oil content can be produced.
