Feasibility of cultivating Hartbeespoort Dam microalgae
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
Three cultivation experiments were conducted to grow microalgae in three consecutively scaled-up laboratory systems, which consisted of one, five and 135-litre bioreactors. The highest productivity achieved under optimum ...
Four novel methods for the harvesting of micro-algal biomass
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
The harvesting of micro-algal biomass is one of the most inefficient and costly steps in the whole biomass-to-liquids (BtL) value chain. Harvesting costs may contribute between 20–30% of the total cost of microalgal BtL ...
Conceptual design of an integrated micro-algal biomass-to-liquids process
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
A new integrated biomasstoliquids conceptual process was developed to produce 2.6 million litres of biodiesel per year from harvested microalgal biomass. Three unconventional harvesting methods, a thermochemical ...
Conceptual cost of an integrated micro-algal biomass-to-liquids facility
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
An orderofmagnitude cost estimate was conducted on a new integrated biomasstoliquids (BtL) process that produces 2.6 million litres of biodiesel per year from microalgal biomass harvested from the Hartbeespoort Dam. ...
