Abstract:
A bioproduct manufacturing system is disclosed. The system comprises a hollow-fiber primary membrane gas absorber comprising a shell side and a lumen, wherein the primary membrane gas absorber is configured to receive a carbonate salt-based solvent on the shell side and a gas mixture comprising oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide in the lumen, at least one runway algal cassette reactor-photobioreactor, and a growth medium circulating between the primary membrane gas absorber and the at least one runway algal cassette reactor-photobioreactor. The at least one runway algal cassette reactor-photobioreactor comprises at least one growth chamber coupled to and in fluid communication with a headspace channel so as to define and interior volume, a first condenser coupled to and in fluid communication with the headspace channel, and a harvest line in fluid communication with the at least one growth chamber and coupled to a filter.
