Bioreactor design was most efficiently achieved with the traditional
construction of the Microbial Fuel Cell system. A unified unit of
varying Algal species (for the analysis of electrical output). The
crucial components of a bioreactor are purposed to mimic the essential
environmental conditions in a culturable Algal environment. The most
significant Algae growth rate factors include nutrients and the
photosynthetic access. Achieving an optimal ratio of sun exposure (3:1)
(as identified in the parameters) in combination with nutrients levels
was crucial (a Miracle Grow growth media). Additionally, a source of
agitation was provided with a shaker
platform
as presented in the figure below:
