Calculation Of Spirulina (Spirulina platensis) Production Chemical Ratios by Devoloping New Software
Abstract
Spirulina
is a microscopic alga that contains rich proteins, minerals, vitamins,
essential amino acids and essential fatty acids like γ-linolenic acid (GLA). It
is produced for diffrent industries such as food or medicine and sold as a
natural supplement around the world. In laboratory conditions lots of chemicals
are using for production. These chemicals are sodium bicarbonate, sodium
carbonate, potassium phosphate, sodium nitrate, potassium sulphate, sodium
chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride, iron sulphate and EDTA. As a
result of the necessity of critical calculations of these chemicals, there is a
need to develop software for spirulina production which is one of the most
important problems of this sector. Microsoft Visual Basic6 program was used in
writing a computer program to plan the daily work to be done, chemical
calculations, laboratory conditions and to control financial affairs in
Spirulina farm. Microsoft Access program was also used as a database. In
software, alga ponds, the amount of algas and planting date is firstly defined
as computer data from the "Information Input" menu. Based on these
definitions, the program can calculate the harvest of algas, chemical ratios
for planting and cost of chemicals. The software was tested by a big spirulina
farm in Adana of Turkey and seen that it can be use for anyone who wants to
product Spirulina.

Spirulina (Spirulina platensis) Kimyasal Oranlarını Hesaplamak İçin Yeni Bir Bilgisayar Yazılımı Geliştirilmesi
Abstract
Spirulina
protein, mineraller, esansiyel aminoasitler ve γ-linolenik asit (GLA) gibi yağ
asitlerince zengin içeriğe sahip mikroskobik bir alg türüdür. Gıda ya da ilaç
gibi farklı endüstriler için doğal bir takviye olarak dünya çapında üretimi
yapılmaktadır. Laboratuvar koşullarında üretimi için birçok kimyasala
gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu kimyasallar, sodyum bikarbonat, sodyum karbonat,
potasyum fosfat, sodyum nitrat, potasyum sülfat, sodyum klorid, magnezyum
sülfat, kalsiyum klorid, demir sülfat ve EDTA dır. Bu kimyasalların kritik
hesaplamalarının yapılabilmesi gerekliliğinden dolayı Spirulina Üretim Yazılımına
ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Spirulina tesisindeki günlük işlerin planlanması, kimyasal
oranlarının hesaplanması, laboratuvar şartlarının ve finansal faaliyetlerin kontrol
edilebilmesi için Microsoft Visual Basic 6 programı, database olarak ta
Microsoft Access programı kullanılmıştır. Yazılımda alg havuzları, alg oranları
ve hasat zamanları ilk olarak “Giriş Menüsü” ile sisteme tanımlanmaktadır. Bu
tanımlamalara göre yazılım alg hasadı, ekim yapılacak kimyasal oranları ve
kimyasal hesaplamalarını yapabilecektir. Yazılım Adana/Türkiye’de bir Spirulina
çiftliğinde test edilmiş ve Spirulina üretimi yapmak isteyen herkes tarafından
kullanabileceği görülmüştür.
