Abstract
A compact rotary algae biofilm reactor includes an algae biofilm module and a light guide module. The algae biofilm module includes a plurality of rotary members and a reaction tank. In the rotary member, an algae biofilm growth carrier and a power transmission belt are wound on a driving shaft and a driven shaft. A top end of the rotary member is fixed on a fixing frame while a bottom end thereof is submerged in the reaction tank. The light guide module includes a rotatable lens holder. The rotatable lens holder is fixedly provided with a linear Fresnel lens on an upper end thereof and is provided with a light guide plate on a lower end thereof. One side of the linear Fresnel lens is provided with a step motor configured to control the linear Fresnel lens to rotate with an angle of sunlight.
