About this episode
Welcome back to Hydroponics Daily with Dr. Russell Sharp, where today we delve into the fascinating world of bioreactors and microalgae. These tiny, photosynthetic powerhouses are not only crucial for biofuels and wastewater treatment but also hold significant potential in hydroponic systems. Join us as we explore the intricate systems of bioreactors, from open raceway ponds to advanced closed photobioreactors, and discover how microalgae absorb CO2 to thrive in high-density setups. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in microalgae cultivation, including the extraction of high-value pigments and omega fatty acids. Discover how facilities can link bioreactors with industrial processes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and explore the potential for microalgae as a sustainable alternative in various industries. With insights into innovative cultivation techniques and nutrient management, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of soilless farming. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/soil-conditioners/ultimate-cal-mag/
