Combined algae production system and application system

Abstract

A combined algae bioreactor and heat-driven CO2 capture system for algae production is provided. The combined system includes a bioreactor with a parabolic trough collector (PTC) shaped structure, a PTC top surface with a spectrum-splitting coating, a thermal solar receiver, a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, a CO2 feed pipeline, and gas release holes. The thermal solar receiver is arranged at the focal point of the bioreactor's PTC shape. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are arranged at two ends of a diagonal line of an opening of the bioreactor respectively. The CO2 feed pipeline is connected to the bottom end of the bioreactor. The gas release holes are arranged at the two ends of the opening of the bioreactor. A spectrum-splitting coating is applied on the bioreactor's PTC top surface, which promotes algae production.
