Abstract:

Methods and systems for growing algae are disclosed. For example, disclosed is an exemplary bioreactor for growing algae that includes a chamber, a liquid-permeable membrane that includes a plurality of hollow fiber membranes disposed within the chamber. Each hollow fiber membrane can include a hollow interior and may be made of a liquid-permeable, algae-impermeable membrane, and each hollow fiber membrane may be disposed within the chamber. The respective interiors of the hollow fiber membranes may at least partially define an inner-capillary space (ICS). The interior of the chamber and respective exteriors of the hollow fiber membranes may at least partially define an extra-capillary space (ECS). When algae is grown in the ECS, lipids produced by the algae may be extracted from the ECS to the ICS via the hollow fiber membranes without killing the majority of algae and while containing the algae to the ECS.

Abstract:

A storage cap for use with a container includes a first structure having a first wall at least partially defining an inner storage chamber operable for storing a first substance and defining a first annular opening having a first annular convex surface facing toward the storage chamber. The storage cap includes a second structure coupled to the first structure and has a plunger element located within the storage chamber having a domed-end with a convex surface facing to the annular opening and a radius greater than one-half of the diameter of the first opening. The second structure is moveable to make and break contact with the annular opening. When the domed end is in contact with the first annular convex surface, a seal is formed between two convex surfaces along an annular path.
