A knowledge-based training network for digitalisation of photosynthetic bioprocesses (DIGITALGAE)

The objective of DigitAlgaesation is to propose a digitalisation approach to optimising control and operation of microalgae cultivation processes so as to maximise their light conversion efficiency and to drive the sustainable portfolio of microalgae-based processes towards commodities and energy markets. Artificial intelligence and automatic model-based control approaches can be a great help to understand, optimise, and in turn remedy, the gap between lab-scale observations and the industrial-scale reality.

Objective:

• Monitoring microalgae cultures key parameters.
• Create and maintain a database of culture conditions..
• Use advanced tools (IA, model-based control) to optimize microalgae culture mass production times and minimize downtime.
