Summary
A manufacturing job that mass-proliferates microalgae such as chlorella using culture devices or bioreactors.
Description
Chlorella cultivation workers use culture tanks or bioreactors to mass-proliferate microalgae such as chlorella. They prepare culture media, perform aseptic operations, and precisely manage conditions such as pH, temperature, light irradiation, and carbon dioxide addition to conduct cultivation. During the process, they monitor growth status using microscopic observation and optical density measurements. After harvesting, they perform concentration and drying processes and conduct quality inspections. In manufacturing sites, contamination prevention measures and equipment cleaning and maintenance are important, and they collaborate with teams to achieve stable production.
