The use of microalgae cultures has been proposed as an innovative method to remove CO2 from biogas. However, the design of a large-scale installations requires the identification of key operational parameters and the determination of the maximum treatment capacity of the system. The aim of this work is to advance in that direction, using...

We build and analyze a mathematical model of a system for biogas upgrading: an absorption column connected to a microalgae culture. The construction of the model is based on a chemical engineering approach and classical models of microalgae cultures. In our analysis, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a boundary value problem...
