Summary
The MAIN objective of PRODIGIO is to establish a knowledge base for the development of a system failure prediction technology that increases the performance of microalgae biomass production and anaerobic digestion systems and advance towards more favourable techno-economic, environmental and social performance to achieve more sustainable microalgae biomass.
Objetives.
- Characterization of microalgae cultures in photobioreactors.
- Identification of critical predictive parameters.
- Development of algorithms to prevent culture collapse.
- Maximizaton of microalgal productivity.
