Table 5

Power input (excluding light) and algae biomass productivity in dry matter per cultivation volume and day of different reactors in outdoor experiments.

Reactor type	Power input [W·m^−3]	Productivity (g·L^−1·d^−1)	Reference
Helical tube reactor (outdoor)	3,200	1.4	[22]
Bubble column (outdoor)	109	0.4 (10 days average)	[23]
Flat panel airlift	100–200	circa 0.76 (average)	[24]
