A glass tubular photobioreactor system capable of long-term stable operation using DURAN(R) glass tubes.
This article introduces examples of wastewater treatment and algae cultivation using a photobioreactor made with DURAN(R) glass tubes. DURAN(R) is a registered trademark of DWK Life Sciences GmbH. Recycling limited water resources is a significant challenge for humanity. In the wastewater treatment example presented here, contaminated wastewater is purified using a closed photobioreactor. The photobioreactor is constructed by placing glass tubes horizontally and stacking them on top of each other. Biological activity and photosynthesis occur due to the greenhouse structure and light source. ■ United States A biological method using algae that purifies water for reuse while simultaneously obtaining valuable biomass as a byproduct. ■ Austria An example of a photobioreactor using 43,000 shot glass tubes.

basic information
Glass Tube: A product with extremely thin walls that minimizes overall length tolerances and has properly treated ends. It is designed for glass photobioreactors (PBR) that are resistant to breakage, aiming to minimize total costs and achieve high yields from algae. Bend Tube: It minimizes overall length errors and has high-grade processing at the ends equivalent to that of glass tubes, ensuring perfect compatibility with other shot-manufactured components. It is cost-effective and can connect various levels of the PBR with high precision, creating a fully compatible system with minimal risk of microbial contamination. Manifold: It minimizes overall length errors and has high-grade processing at the ends equivalent to that of glass tubes, ensuring perfect compatibility with other shot-manufactured components. The ends can be sealed or flanged. It is cost-effective and allows for advanced connections in fence-type systems. Being entirely made of glass facilitates biosecurity measures and food safety, achieving a fully compatible system. Connector: A high-pressure product precisely manufactured exclusively for shot glass tubes, with a dedicated assembly toolkit provided. The reactor has a lifespan of over 10 years, can be quickly installed, and is easy to remove.
