Area of Science:

  • * Microalgal biotechnology and its applications in renewable energy and carbon capture.
  • * Sustainable bioproducts and biofuels derived from microalgal biomass.

Background:

  • * Outdoor open raceway pond (ORP) cultivation is vital for microalgal biomass production, utilizing sunlight and CO2.
  • * Dynamic environmental conditions in ORPs challenge accurate productivity prediction.
  • * Current methods require time-intensive physical measurements and site-specific calibration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce a novel image-based deep learning model for predicting ORP productivity.
  • * To enable accurate forecasting of microalgal biomass yield using remote sensing data.
  • * To provide an efficient and cost-effective tool for microalgal production operations.

Main Methods:

  • * Development of a deep learning model utilizing parameter profile plot images (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, PAR, TDS).
  • * Application of the model to a large-scale dataset from the Algae Testbed Public-Private-Partnership (ATP3) Unified Field Studies.
  • * Remote monitoring of sensor parameters without physical interaction with ORPs.

Main Results:

  • * The image-based deep learning model significantly outperformed traditional machine learning methods (R² = 0.77 vs. R² = 0.39).
  • * The model accurately predicted ORP productivity without incorporating bioprocess parameters.
  • * Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the approach to data resolution and parameter variations.

Conclusions:

  • * Image-based deep learning offers an effective and inexpensive method for predicting ORP productivity.
  • * Remote monitoring data can be leveraged for accurate microalgal production forecasting.
  • * This technology can optimize microalgal cultivation and operational management.
