The tariff classification of an algae photo bioreactor from The Netherlands. The Algae Photo Bioreactor is used for the controlled production of micro algae. The system increases photosynthesis and algae biomass production by reducing the light path and improving culture mixing with little hydrodynamic stress on the cells. Algae cells, nutrients, water and carbon dioxide are circulated through transparent tubes to maximize the amount of light reaching the algae cells. The length of the horizontally positioned tubes varies according to the individual project. They are designed to have light and dark intervals to enhance the growth rate. Pumps control the medium’s pH level and the nutrients level. The harvesting pump regulates the flow to the filter system. The harvested, oil-rich algae can be processed into a number of products such as biodiesel, ethanol, animal feed, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and a variety of plastics.
