The advantages over other types of PBR
​
-
High photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production: A turbulent flow in the culture medium causes the photosynthetically active microbial cells to oscillate horizontally between the irradiated surface and the shaded deeper layers (video) within milliseconds. As a result, a large proportion of the photons of the photosynthetically active radiation can be used efficiently for photosynthesis.
​
-
Efficient prevention of biofouling: Large air bubbles are periodically blown into the base of the PBR and rise up. These ensure that fouling is constantly removed from the surface of the PBR.
-
Low consumption of water, nutrients and energy: Due to a low ratio between volume of culture medium and photoactive surface area of only 1 (L/m2).
​
-
Long durability: Due to the glass material used in the construction of the PBR, they have a service life of around 20 years.
