Abstract	There is a well-documented improvement of the mass-scale culture of microalgae with the use of sophisticated closed systems. The proposed photobioreactor in this study is a combination of helical parts receiving strong light with a main culture vessel mixed and degassed by airlift. A first experimental trial was carried out with the filamentous cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis achieving maximal volumetric productivity of 1.2 gl-1d-1 comparable with the maximal reported values by other closed culture designs for the same organism. The proposed system is under optimisation of its engineering elements in order to comprise a sound modular solution for commercial production of microalgae of economic interest.
