US 2025/0059485 A1 · CO2 FED ALGAE GROWTH AND HARVEST

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for processing carbon dioxide-containing gas based on biomass. Such processing may include collection from a point source or atmosphere, drying, treatment, and compression. The compressed gas may be fed into an algae reactor that maintains optimal conditions for algae growth. The algae may be allowed to grow until a predetermined density associated with harvesting is reached. The harvested algae may be processed and packaged. The process may be monitored by sensors and controlled by a computing device in communication with the devices associated with each stage of processing.

Claims25

Dependent claims

A system for biomass-based capture of carbon dioxide, the system comprising:

a connection to a gas source;
a reactor chamber that receives gas from the gas source via the connection, wherein an algae suspension within the reactor chamber is exposed to the received gas;
one or more sensors that measures one or more characteristics of the algae suspension in real-time;
and
a control system that:
receives the measured characteristics from the sensors in real-time,
compares the measured characteristics to one or more predetermined target characteristics, and
generates an initiation signal based on the comparison, wherein the initiation signal is associated with a recipient device.
