Project Overview
The Tubular PBR Installation Project focused on deploying a high-efficiency, closed-loop photobioreactor designed to optimize algae growth under controlled conditions. Unlike open pond systems, tubular PBRs provide superior contamination control, higher biomass yields and precise regulation of light, temperature and nutrients.
- System Specifications: Modular tubular design with automated monitoring for pH, Temperature, dissolved oxygen and CO₂ levels.
- Capacity: Scalable up to 1000L with 500L buffer tank for pilot-scale production
- Key Benefits:
- Increased productivity by up to 30% compared to traditional methods
- Reduced water usage and minimal environmental footprint
- Integration with renewable energy sources for carbon-neutral operations
Leadership and Expertise
The project was spearheaded by Nithiya Paranjothi, a renowned biologist from Algae Living Sdn Bhd with experience in microalgal cultivation. Nithiya’s expertise is cultivation optimization, algae harvesting and currently working on bioreactor and centrifuge process installation, demonstrator and trainer.
Her team collaborated with engineers and worldwide stakeholders to customize the system for customer unique environmental conditions, incorporating advanced sensors and real-time data analytics.
Installation Highlights
The project timeline spanned 5days involving:
- Site Preparation: Foundation work and utility integrations
- Assembly: Erection of glass or polymer tubes in a looped configuration
- Commissioning: Full operational handover with training for customer
