From lab to application: Cultivating limnetic microalgae in seawater coupled with wastewater for biodiesel production on a pilot scale

Ze Yu et al.

Summary: The technology of cultivating salt-tolerant limnetic microalgae in seawater reduces the freshwater demand and costs of biodiesel production. This study optimized the diameter of the photobioreactors (PBRs) to 0.2 m and established a 1000 L algal cultivation system using seawater supplemented with monosodium glutamate wastewater. The biomass productivity and lipid productivity in this system showed promising results, meeting biodiesel standards and achieving a higher output-to-input ratio compared to traditional methods.

Comparative life-cycle assessment of various harvesting strategies for biogas production from microalgae: Energy conversion characteristics and greenhouse gas emissions

Chaoyang Wei et al.

Summary: This study compared the energy conversion characteristics and environmental impacts of four microalgae harvesting strategies through a comparative life-cycle assessment. The results showed that harvesting strategies significantly affected the net energy yield of the whole system. Only two scenarios (FC-CT and FC-EF) achieved positive net energy yield. The net GHG emissions of all four scenarios were positive, with FC-EF achieving the least emissions.

Novel Flat-Plate Photobioreactor with Inclined Baffles and Internal Structure Optimization to Improve Light Regime Performance

Linlin Wang et al.

Summary: A novel flat-plate photobioreactor with inclined baffles was developed for high-density algae cultivation. Computational fluid dynamics model optimization showed that inclined baffles with a small angle could improve swirl flow and light regime performance, with the ratio of the baffle opening distance to the reactor width being a key parameter for light regime performance. Experiments demonstrated a significant increase in algal biomass with the optimal baffle parameters compared to reactors without baffles or with horizontal baffles.
