About Microalgae Growth Kinetics Modeling

P. Popova and C. Boyadjiev

Abstract
A method for modeling microalgae growth kinetics is presented. The model parameters were obtained using experimental data for biomass concentration only. The relation between biomass concentration and CO2 concentration in liquid phase was obtained. The proposed model is in good agreement with the experimental data. The presented method is applicable for different photosynthetic processes.
