Plant Bioreactors and Their Classification
#2
Biotechnology science is exploiting its knowledge and technology in a field to develop effective alternative for non-renewable sources like Diesel and Petrol. Today the most promising fuel in this type is biofuel. The reason for this is that its production is based on natural activities which is cost effective and thus can act as replacement of non-renewable resources.
Biofuel production is done by a ways which makes it competitive for food production. Therefore, many companies are now a days trying to come up with innovative ways to solve this drawback of biofuel production. The unique way in this is to engineer microorganism to produce fuels! This may include engineering of microbes which will lead to production of chemicals, like Diesel, Ethanol and may be even bio gas.
During such processes, microbes are grown in closed glass or suitable bioreactors and are fed with favorable conditions like sunlight, nutrients and waste Co2 etc as required. Once the fuel is produced by microbial activities, it is separated from the growing solution and then harvested or collected in its purified form. Such bioreactor need locations which are with sufficient sunlight, water source which can be recycled and CO2 sources.
One of the most interesting things in bioreactors is that it is being used recently in architectures designs. You may not believe that many building in Germany and other countries are now using bioreactor beds during their constructions so as to produce energy. These building contain special bioreactors with microbial algae which with the help of photosynthesis produce energy which is utilized for power supply to all building as well as this act as superb shade for peoples living inside !
