Global warming resulting from the emission of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, has become a major concern in recent years. Therefore many technologies have been developed to treat CO2. This project will be based on literature review for making a pre-design of a system for CO2 biological removal. The technologies reviewed will be algae and other autotroph organisms. One of this technologies will be elected to apply this bibliographical data to a real waste treatment plant that emits CO2. The following is a project about the design and construction of a tubular photobioreactor to produce microalgae Chlorella KR-1. Using combustion gases from a fuel-oil boiler in Cementos Molins Industrial plant. The reactor was predesign for the treatment of 1.5 m3 s-1 of gas and contained a pre-treatment on scrubber for minimizing the nitrogen dioxides presented in the combustion gases. The final maximum biomass concentration of 0.9 g L-1 was obtained. Finally, a proportional scale-up was carried out for a photobioreactor, which was fed with the total flow of gases from the boiler.
