INSTALLATION FOR CARRYING OUT PHOTOCHEMICAL AND PHOTOCATALYTIC REACTIONS AND PHOTOINDUCED PROCESSES

摘要

The invention relates to an installation for carrying out photochemical and photocatalytic reactions and photoinduced processes, in particular for cultivating phototrophic organisms and cell cultures, e.g. microalgae. The invention seeks to improve known devices by the 'thin-film principle' so that production of micro-organisms, in particular phototrophic micro-organisms, becomes so efficient as regards cultivating and harvesting processes that maximum production of micro-organisms is achieved all year round with optimal exploitation of natural sunlight and optimal conditioning of the culture suspension, in particular of the energy and material exchange processes as well as of the hydrodynamic flow conditions. At the same time, in co-operation with the peripheral equipment, optimal operating result is guaranteed.
