Abstract:
:The marine diatom Cyclotella cryptica was grown over a period of 13 months in a 48-m(2) shallow outdoor flume. The use of foil arrays at intervals of 1.2 m to effect systematic vertical mixing in the flume was found to significantly enhance microalgal production (p = 0.006). Average photosynthetic efficiencies (based on visible irradiance) with and without the foil arrays in place were 9.6 +/- 0.8 and 7.5 +/- 0.5% (+/-95% confidence intervals), respectively. A cost-benefit analysis indicated that the foil arrays were cost-effective if the value of the algae exceeded about $2.28 kg(1) of ash-free dry weight (AFDW). Parallel experiments performed in four 9.2-m(2) flumes showed that production was maximized when the cells were grown on a 2-day batch cycle between harvests rather than on a 1- or 3-day batch cycle. The optimum initial concentration (immediately after harvesting) of the algae was negatively correlated with the time interval between harvests and ranged from approximately 39 g AFDW/m(3) on a 3-day cycle to 213 g AFDW/m(3) on a 1-day cycle. The increase in production resulting from growth on a 2-day rather than a 1-day batch cycle was about 19% and was statistically significant at p = 0.0003. Growth of C. cryptica over a total period of 122 days during the 13-month study in the 48-m(2) flume under near-optimal conditions (2-day batch cycle, initial concentration 155 g AFDW/m(3)) resulted in an average production rate (+/-95% confidence interval) of 29.7 +/- 2.7 g AFDW/m(2) d.
