title: Effect of the nonilluminated part of suspension on biomass production in an algal reactor.
abstract: The production of algal biomass in the illuminated and nonilluminated part of the suspension in an algal reactor was analyzed with regard to the biological inertia of the algae. The calculations indicate a considerable effect of nonilluminated part of the reactor on algal biomass production. The intensity of suspension stirring affects biomass production only slightly.
