“…It should be highlighted that logistics, preparation, and use according to the regional particularities can be a differentiator (e.g., seawater, brackish, freshwater and wastewater, cheap nutrients and fertilizers, flue gas from local sources: power-plant, cement industry, ethanol mills, biogas upgrading etc.) [20,36,38,[92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99].…”

“…The theory was first published by the authors [1-3]. Our experience from Russia, Bulgaria, Brazil and the USA highlighted the milestones of the modeling procedure of biotechnological processes [4,5] as well as the wastewater treatment processes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] purification of heavy metals [14], bioreactors [15][16][17][18], photobioreactors [19][20][21][22], microalgae growth kinetics [23][24][25], and bacterial growth kinetics [26]. As well as, different ethanol production processes were successfully modeled and analyzed in detail elsewhere [27][28][29].…”

Modeling as a tool solves extremely difficult tasks in life sciences. Recently, schemes of culturing of microalgae have received special attention because of its unique features and possible uses in many industrial applications for renewable energy production and high value products isolation. The goal of this review is to present the use of system analysis theory applied to microalgae culturing modeling and process development. The review mainly focuses on the modeling of the key steps of autotrophic growth under the integral biorefinery concept of the microalgae biomass. The system approach follows systematically a procedure showing the difficulties by modeling of sub‐systems. The development of microalgae kinetics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies were analyzed in details as sub‐systems in advanced design of photobioreactor (PBR). This review logically follows the trends of the modeling procedure and clarifies how this approach may save time and money during the research efforts. The result of this work is a successful development of a complex PBR mathematical analysis in the frame of the integral biorefinery concept.

“…Among them, microalgae provide advantages as they are photosynthetic, high growth rate organisms that are easy to cultivate and require less space than higher plants, together with displaying high chemodiversity-though this has barely been explored-coupled with high biodiversity [2]. Although very attractive compared to higher plants, microalgae biotechnology still requires further research and development to lower its cost and enhance practical and industrial interest [3,4]. One of the main branches of the biotechnological exploration of marine algae concerns bioactive and, especially, antioxidant compounds.…”
