Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A top reference photobioreactor system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible floating photobioreactor having a buoyancy tube filled with a gas that is less dense, and a ballast tube filled with a substance, such as saltwater, that is more dense, than the liquid in which the photobioreactor floats. A top reference photobioreactor method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes controlling a depth of the top reference photobioreactor by controlling a volume and/or density of ballast in the ballast tube and/or by controlling a volume and/or density of gas in the buoyancy tube. Se describe un sistema de fotobioreactor de referencia superior de acuerdo con una modalidad de la presente invención que incluye un fotobioreactor flotante flexible que tiene un tubo de flotación lleno con un gas que es menos denso y un tubo de lastre lleno con una sustancia tal como agua de sal que es más denso que el líquido en el cual el fotobioreactor flota. Un método de fotobioreactor de referencia superior de acuerdo con una modalidad de la presente invención incluye controlar la profundidad del fotobioreactor de referencia superior al controlar el volumen y/o densidad del lastre del tubo de lastre y/o al controlar el volumen y/o densidad del gas en el tubo de flotación.
