Abstract:
1. A process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone, wherein the reaction zone includes an operative reaction mixture, wherein the operative reaction mixture includes the phototrophic biomass disposed in an aqueous medium, comprising: producing gaseous exhaust material with a gaseous exhaust material producing process, wherein the gaseous exhaust material includes carbon dioxide; supplying reaction zone feed material to the reaction zone to effect a carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass; exposing the carbon dioxide-enriched phototrophic biomass disposed in the aqueous medium to photosynthetically active light radiation so as to effect photosynthesis; and modulating a discharge of the gaseous exhaust material from the gaseous exhaust material producing process based on sensing of at least one reaction zone parameter; wherein the modulating of the discharge of the gaseous exhaust material includes both of, in parallel:
