Novel algae-based solution for CO2 capture and biomass production (ALGADISK)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The aim of the ALGADISK project is to develop a modular, scalable, and automatic biofilmreactor for Algae biomass production, with low operational and installation costs. Thereactor will be designed to capture CO2 from industrial emissions to produce high valueorganic products. In this system, algae will be grown both in an aqueous environment andon biocompatible surfaces, allowing for CO2 absorpt ...

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 ...
