Abstract
A photobioreactor () for use in treating polluted air and producing biomass may comprise, at least in part, a generally vertical tube or fluidic pathway (), a generally vertical helical tube or fluidic pathway () having a light source () partially positioned within the helical fluidic pathway (), a head cap assembly (), and a base assembly (). In one illustrative example, the light source () may be a light emitting diode (LED) or a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). By one approach, a gas diffusion apparatus () is located at the base assembly () adjacent the generally vertical fluidic pathway ().
