A transfer device includes at least one pump unit provided for a defined gas transfer between a first, closed-off space of an installation, in particular a photobioreactor installation, and a second space which is separate from the first space. The at least one pump unit is embodied as a selective oxygen pump.

An integrated system to produce microalgae with autonomous fault identification and circumvention that can be deployed on land or at sea. The system comprises a fully scalable reactor, CO2 extraction, oxygen replenishment to surrounding water, and all necessary equipment to run it safely ensuring high energy efficiency and optimal control of environment variables to maximize biomass yield.

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing biogas in a combined fermenter, in the first section (2) of which organic material is produced by phototrophic microorganisms (1) using atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen, said organic material being used to produce biomethane by means of methanogens (5) in a second section (4). The fermenter is operated in multiple modes and using special gassing and degassing methods such that an optimal gas supply corresponding to the requirements of the respective microorganisms and preferably also the absorption or the use of atmospheric carbon dioxide is ensured.

The present disclosure discloses a biological reaction device and a culture method for adventitious roots of panax ginseng C. A. MEY. The biological reaction device includes a tank body, wherein the top of the tank body is provided with a cover body which can be opened and closed, and a bottom of the tank body is provided with at least two air inlet devices. The method includes washing and disinfecting mature ginseng, cutting the disinfected ginseng into slices, inoculating the ginseng slices into an induction medium to induce ginseng adventitious roots, re-inoculating the ginseng adventitious roots into an induction medium for subculture and propagation, then inoculating the obtained ginseng adventitious roots into a shake flask containing a liquid medium for dark culture, and then inoculating the obtained ginseng adventitious roots into a biological reaction device containing a liquid medium for culture to obtain ginseng adventitious roots.

Bioreactors are provided that include a vessel and a jet mixer disposed in the vessel. Methods that utilize the bioreactors are provided, involving placing a microorganism or cells and a fluid medium in the bioreactor.

Bioreactors are disclosed that include a vessel, a jet mixing system comprising a plurality of jet flow agitators disposed in the vessel, each jet flow agitator comprising a shaft, a shroud surrounding the shaft, the shaft having a bore and a plurality of orifices in communication with the bore, and an impeller mounted on the shaft within the shroud, and a gas delivery system configured to supply a process gas to the vessel through the bore such that the gas exits the orifices. The vessel may include a vent, and the gas delivery system may include a source of oxygen in communication with the vessel, an oxygen monitor configured to monitor the oxygen content of a liquid in the vessel, and a controller configured to adjust the oxygen content of the liquid, using the vent and oxygen source, in response to input from the oxygen monitor.

Systems and methods for cyanobacteria indoor air biofiltration to reduce air handling energy consumption are disclosed. A system may include: a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising an air valve that controls a flow of conditioned, untreated air from an enclosed area; and a biofiltration device comprising: a controller that interfaces with the air valve and controls the air valve to open or close; an air inlet that receives the untreated air from the air valve when the air valve is in an open position; a bioreactor comprising a bio-organism; an air bubble mixing system that receives the untreated air and diffuses the untreated air into the bioreactor, wherein the bio-organism is configured to consume CO.sub.2 via photosynthesis and to release treated air; and an air outlet that receives the treated air from the bioreactor and expels the treated air to enclosed area.

Apparatuses and methods for microscopic analysis of a sample by simultaneously characterizing infrared absorption characteristics of a plurality of spatially resolved locations are described herein. These apparatuses and methods improve sampling times while collecting microscopic data regarding composition of a sample across a wide field.
