Abstract:
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to a fluid conveyance apparatus, the apparatus comprising a receptacle comprising at least one raceway configured to allow a culture medium to flow in a continuous loop; a propulsion mechanism configured: to generate a fluid current of sufficient force to propel a floating mat on a top surface of the culture medium, and to vary a velocity of the fluid current in a controlled manner to maintain a substantially uniform distribution of the floating mat on the top surface of the culture medium; and a control mechanism operatively linked to the propulsion mechanism and configured to regulate the velocity of the fluid current.

Claim (Index 19):
A static floating grid bioreactor system, the system comprising:\n a container configured to contain a microcrop in sufficient culture medium to permit normal growth of the microcrop, the container comprising: at least a first divider intersecting a second divider such that the container is subdivided into at least four cells,\n wherein each of the first divider and the second divider are capable of floating in the culture medium; \n a curtain extending above a top surface of the culture medium, and a skimmer funnel suspended from the first divider, the second divider, or an intersection between the first divider and the second divider such that at least a portion of the skimmer funnel is submerged in the culture medium and at least a portion of the culture medium is capable of flowing through the skimmer funnel as a stream to a dewatering station; the dewatering station configured to receive the stream, and further configured to separate the microcrop from the culture medium; and a dewatering station pump configured to propel the culture medium from the dewatering station to at least one of the at least four cells.
