MICROBIOLOGICAL WASTE CONVERSION IN CONTROL OF ISOLATED ENVIRONMENTS.
Abstract
In studies on the optimization of variables con cerned with yield and with th-all visible energy conversion efficiency of algae. The report shows that the geometric arrangement of the light source is an important factor. Ex periments involving the use of a culture sshow that yield is greatest when the culture is illu minated bilaterally with globular, incandescent lamps arranged so that no two are directly op posite each other. The difference in yield is probbly a function of length of sojourn of the average algal cell in light and dark zones. The effect of depth and detention period on the ex tent of permissible loading of the algal cul ture in the Microterella was determined. Ex periments on design and operation of specialized waste-treatment units were conducted. A new Microterella was built. The new unit i for experimentation on closed systems of the Micto terella type that are directly toward eventual application on a man-scale unit. It principal limitation is that it can only accommodate a small animal, and not a man. (Author)
