Apparatus and method for production of biomass

The proposed device for the production of biomass consists of a photobioreactor with at least a photosynthesis unit (2, 2 '), a pipe system (3) with valves and at least one system pump (13) and a control and actuation unit (4) which in an operative connection with peripheral devices, namely at least one device (5) for harvesting produced biomass and a cleaning and disinfecting means (6), brought or placed is. the photobioreactor in a container (1) According to the invention at least arranged, which can be stacked without additional protection and stabilization measures or protective elements can be transported as a cargo unit, as well as with other containers. In this container (1) of the photobioreactor can remain in the cultivation of phototrophic or mixotrophic organisms, wherein by forming the container (1) is ensured that the photosynthesis unit or units (2, 2 ') with the required for the cultivation light are supplied. In a preferred embodiment of the photobioreactor with the harvesting means (5) and the cleaning and disinfection means (6) forms an integral unit and is arranged together with them in a container (1).
