Since 2010, TH Wildau has been operating an algae farming pilot plant south of Berlin, in which a photobioreactor, a methane gas reactor, and a combined heat and power plant have been connected in a closed cycle for the first time.
The main goal of the project – which is intended to provide data for a large-scale plant down the road – is the optimal configuration of the process technology components and reduction of the external energy input to a minimum. In order to measure the pH and oxygen levels, the TH Wildau technicians are deploying Knick Memosens sensors and Memorail analyzers.
