A Scalable Photobioreactor-Based System for Oxygen Generation Using
Cyanobacteria
GD Goenka University, Sohna Gurugram Road,
Sohna, Haryana, India, 122103
The following specification fully and particularly describes the invention and a method to
carry out the same.
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology and environmental
engineering, and more particularly to systems and methods for bio-based oxygen
generation using photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria or microalgae.
The invention pertains to the development of a scalable, portable, and sustainable
oxygen production system using photobioreactors, incorporating environmental sensors,
monitoring units, and waste management solutions for use in medical, commercial, and
public health applications.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The availability of oxygen is fundamental to life and critical in various sectors,
particularly healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world witnessed an
unprecedented surge in the demand for medical oxygen, which exposed serious
vulnerabilities in the supply chains, logistics, and infrastructure needed to meet such
urgent requirements. In several regions, especially remote or under-resourced areas, the
shortage of oxygen supply became a life-threatening crisis, highlighting the urgent need
for decentralized, scalable, and sustainable alternatives for oxygen generation.
Traditionally, oxygen is produced via industrial processes such as cryogenic distillation
and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems. These methods, while effective, are
capital-intensive, require significant energy input, and depend heavily on centralized
manufacturing units and transportation networks for distribution. This model proves
inadequate during emergency situations like pandemics, natural disasters, or remote
deployments, where rapid and localized oxygen availability is crucial.
Nature offers an elegant solution to this challenge—photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria
(commonly referred to as blue-green algae) and other microalgae are known for their
ability to perform oxygenic photosynthesis, wherein they absorb carbon dioxide and
sunlight, convert it into biomass, and release oxygen as a byproduct. Despite being
microscopic, these organisms are responsible for producing more than 50% of the
Earth’s atmospheric oxygen. However, their potential for industrial or healthcare
applications in oxygen generation remains underutilized.
The present invention seeks to bridge this gap by developing a biological oxygen
production system that leverages the photosynthetic efficiency of cyanobacteria and
microalgae. By cultivating these microorganisms in photobioreactors—specifically
designed closed systems that control environmental parameters such as light,
temperature, and CO₂ concentration—oxygen can be generated on-site, in real-time, and
in an eco-friendly manner. Moreover, the system is designed to be portable, costeffective,
and modular, making it ideal for use in hospitals, emergency healthcare
facilities, public spaces, tourist areas, educational institutes, and remote or high-altitude
locations.
In addition to oxygen production, the system has the potential to contribute to carbon
dioxide sequestration, wastewater treatment, and value-added product generation from
leftover algal biomass—such as biofertilizers, animal feed, nutraceuticals, and
biofuels—making it a multi-benefit, sustainable solution.
Therefore, the invention addresses the critical need for decentralized oxygen generation
systems with minimal environmental impact, while also promoting the circular
bioeconomy and enhancing preparedness for future healthcare and environmental crises.
KR20100010921A discloses an oxygen generator using a biomaterial that is completely
different from the conventional oxygen generators. The microalgae is grown by
supplying carbon dioxide that is excessively present in the room by using microalgae
that photosynthesize to grow microalgae and photosynthesis. It is a technology to purify
indoor air by supplying the oxygen produced to the room.
CN104214845A provides a microalgae oxygen bar-mediated air purification device,
which can purify air, keep air humidity and also release pure oxygen so as to guarantee
that the filtered air is fresh and pollution-free. According to the technical scheme
provided by the invention, the microalgae oxygen bar-mediated air purification device is
characterized in that a shell is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, wherein a fan
is arranged at the air outlet; one or more microalgae filters, a growth light source for
promoting photoautotrophy of microalgae and a water tank and a water pump for
promoting the growth of the microalgae are arranged in the shell; the microalgae are
introduced to an intermediate and grow along walls by controlling the culture conditions
such as cyclic spray and the growth light source so as to form the microalgae filter; the
microalgae filter is arranged on a passage from the air inlet to the air outlet.
The present invention seeks to bridge this gap by developing a biological oxygen
production system that leverages the photosynthetic efficiency of cyanobacteria and
microalgae. By cultivating these microorganisms in photobioreactors—specifically
designed closed systems that control environmental parameters such as light,
temperature, and CO₂ concentration—oxygen can be generated on-site, in real-time, and
in an eco-friendly manner. Moreover, the system is designed to be portable, costeffective,
and modular, making it ideal for use in hospitals, emergency healthcare
facilities, public spaces, tourist areas, educational institutes, and remote or high-altitude
locations.
In addition to oxygen production, the system has the potential to contribute to carbon
dioxide sequestration, wastewater treatment, and value-added product generation from
leftover algal biomass—such as biofertilizers, animal feed, nutraceuticals, and
biofuels—making it a multi-benefit, sustainable solution.
Therefore, the invention addresses the critical need for decentralized oxygen generation
systems with minimal environmental impact, while also promoting the circular
bioeconomy and enhancing preparedness for future healthcare and environmental crises.
