effect of algae net production in a photosynthetic wastewater treatment process

Microalgae Wastewater Treatment

by on 10:04 pm in Microalgae Application

I just read a newsletter from Oilgae.com about the utilization of microalgae for wastewater treatment and I think it is very interesting. I seldom reading about the issue, so that I browsed how microalgae can be utilized to treat wastewater. I also remember one of my lab mate in E/EBBE lab had some research on heavy metal [...]

Environmental Application of Microalgae

by on 7:18 am in Microalgae Application, Microalgae Cultivation

Production of biodiesel and other bio-products from microalgae can be more environmentally sustainable, profitable, and cost-effective if combined with waste water. Microalgae hold promise of being able to accomplish nutrient removal with a net energy savings to the water treatment system. The nutrients, instead of being waste, become feed for the algae.

Utilization of microalgae for CO2 sequestration

by on 7:24 am in Microalgae Application, Microalgae Basic, Some of microalgae

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have exceeded 450 ppm and are at levels classified as “dangerously high”. CO2 fixation by photoautotrophic algal cultures has the potential to diminish the release CO2 into the atmosphere, helping alleviate the trend toward global warming. Selection of optimal microalgae species is vital to realize workable biological CO2 fixation system
