Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010142870A2] The invention relates to a photobioreactor, in particular for growing and developing photosynthetic micro-organisms such as microalgae and cyanobacteria. The photobioreactor includes at least one reflector (101) arranged on one side of the photobioreactor and tubes arranged in a plurality of layers which follow one another in a direction (N) normal to the reflector at a central region thereof, each layer comprising a plurality of tubes. The tubes (1, 16, etc.) are preferably rectilinear and extend in a direction orthogonal to the normal direction (N), the reflector is cylindrical with a circular or oval section, and the layers are cylindrical with a circular or oval section and concentric.
