Photobioreactor for cultivating Spirulina
Tomandl, Jiří ; Naď, Martin (referee) ; Lošák, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis addresses the issue of microalgae cultivation, specifically focusing on Spirulina, with the aim of designing a device for its efficient cultivation to produce fresh biomass intended for consumption. Spirulina is characterized by its high content of proteins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it known as a dietary supplement with numerous benefits. The thesis includes the design of a photobioreactor for home cultivation of Spirulina, considering efficiency, simplicity, and economic affordability. The work includes literature review, technical documentation, prototype construction, economic evaluation of the device and operational costs. The proposed photobioreactor enables the production of fresh spirulina at low cost, thus contributing to the wider availability of fresh spirulina to the general consumer. The proposed solution has the potential to increase awareness of the ecological and nutritional benefits of spirulina and to promote its use in households.
