Resumen
This is a Technical Inform, before to obtain the Ronny Barra Aquaculture degree, it show the process to design an
industrial photobioreactor to growth Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). This work star with a review of the principal
open culture systems and the deferments types of know photobioreactors. An abstract about the industrial
photobioreactors that have been building and it is running right now give a perspective to design a new industrial
photobioreactor. A looking the principals’ criteria of designs give to identify the items more important to design a
photobioreactor. To evaluate the performance of photobioreactor is necessary to define methods to measure the
output. As result of this work, it shows the design criterions, the calculus, planes, details and budget of building
and evaluation of photobioreactor designing. In the discussion of results it is identify the advantages and the
disadvantages of the designing system. The conclusions and of this work give important guidelines to make future
works in this matter.
