| Abstract: |
Algae growth on building facades would usually be a cause for frustration among the majority of building owners. But what if microalgae were cultivated intentionally on facades as a future building concept for energy or domestic warm water supply? A team of German scientists and technicians consisting of ADCO Technik GmbH, ARUP Deutschland GmbH, Frener & Reifer GmbH, SSC Strategic Science Consult GmbH and Technische Universität Dresden is developing flat panel bioreactors made of glass for building skins. This paper presents the construction of a photobioreactor prototype. It describes the design approach including the structural design and flow simulations. The mechanical, physical and chemical loads are characterized and experimental studies on adhesive materials are presented. |
