Reduction of microalgae harvesting costs via the development of an ultrasound flow cell to provide pre-concentration (ALGAEMAX)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The worldwide production of microalgae is currently around 5,000 tons per year of dry algal biomass, and is used for livestock feed, fish meal, and high value extracts for dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Microalgae contain around 30% by weight of lipids/oil, and are regarded as a highly promising feedstock for biofuels, primarily biodiesel.Microalgae are comme ...

Hybrid Algae Cultivation System Based on Conditioned Environment with Efficient Light Collection and Distribution System (SOLALGEN)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"The strategic overall objective of the proposed project is to develop an optical light distribution system that will significantly increase the productivity of existing open pond algae cultivation plant designs while maintaining low capital and operating costs and consequently reducing the overall costs per unit mass of algae oil produced.Light intensity is a key parameter affecting algae growth. ...
