Rotating Algal Biofilm Reactor

Basics

• A Type of Photobioreactor using a Biofilm affixed to a substrate that rotates
  • This optimizes Algal Density and Gas Exposure while limiting Complexity
  • More energy intensive than an Algae Turf Scrubber for the benefit of enhanced efficiency
    • Albeit Citation needed
• An easy to understand example would be a “Clip-On” Fish Tank Filter with the Waterwheel looking device
  • This is essentially a miniaturized RABR optimized for Nutrient Removal
