In@lgae

Numerical simulator of microalgae based processes

Keywords: Simulation - Microalgae system - Productivity

Functional Description

In@lgae simulates the productivity of a microalgae production system, taking into account both the process type and its location and time of the year. The process is mainly defined by its thermal dynamics and by its associated hydrodynamics. For a given microalgal strain, a set of biological parameters describe the response to nitrogen limitation, temperature and light. As a result, the biomass production, CO$\_2$ and nitrogen fluxes, lipid and sugar accumulation are predicted.
