Spray drying of microalgae biomass for biofuel production
BUCHI Mini Spray Dryer B-290: Yield and total yield determination in spray dried microalgaes Recently, microalgal biomass has been recognized as a promising alternative source of raw material for biofuel production. Algal biomass has several advantages that may help to meet the need for the global demand of transport fuels, such as rapid growth rate, high lipid content, small land usage, and ...

Pretreatment of brewery effluent to cultivate Spirulina sp. for nutrients removal and biomass production
Due to the low concentration of nitrate and high contents of organics, brewery effluent was not suitable for the cultivation of Spirulina sp. This work changed the nutrient profile of brewery effluent effectively by dilution, addition of nitrate, and anaerobic digestion. The result showed that the optimum dilution rate and NaNO3 addition for brewery effluent were 20% and 0.5 g/L, ...

Interest in DOE Algae Biomass Program/BETO technologies diminishes because they have proven to not be scalable outside the lab in demonstration or pilot tests.
After over 10 years of attempts at collaboration between the DOE Algae Biomass Program/BETO, university algae researchers and commercial algae producers over highly advertised pay-to-play taxpayer funded technologies, NAA and its algaepreneurs have no further interest. Why? On information and belief, many of these hyped technologies have not been able to be proven outside the lab in demo and ...

National Algae Association’s 2018 Algae Year in Review
The general public, taxpayers, and the business and investment communities continue to ask about the algae product claims made by university algae researchers, lobbyists, DOE Algae Biomass/BETO and market research studies. They have been promoting potential algae products since the first algae study conducted by Carnegie Mellon 75 years ago, and we’re now asking, with no response, where the ...

Alternative Products from Algae
Algae Biomass Summit 2020 discussed Alternative Products from Algae. This session was moderated by Lieve Laurens, National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Dr. Laurens opened with the introduction: What makes algae so remarkable? One aspect would be the creativity of the algae community to identify novel algae products, especially when it comes to product commercialization. Some of the credit ...

Algae biomass cultivation in nitrogen rich biogas digestate
Because microalgae are known for quick biomass growth and nutrient uptake, there has been much interest in their use in research on wastewater treatment methods. While many studies have concentrated on the algal treatment of wastewaters with low to medium ammonium concentrations, there are several liquid waste streams with high ammonium concentrations that microalgae could potentially treat. ...
