Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production
Author: Abu Yousuf
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128175370
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production explores the technological opportunities and challenges involved in producing economically competitive algal-derived biofuel. The book discusses efficient methods for cultivation, improvement of harvesting and lipid extraction techniques, optimization of conversion/production processes of fuels and co-products, the integration of microalgae biorefineries to several industries, environmental resilience by microalgae, and a techno-economic and lifecycle analysis of the production chain to gain maximum benefits from microalgae biorefineries. - Provides an overview of the whole production chain of microalgal biofuels and other bioproducts - Presents an analysis of the economic and sustainability aspects of the production chain - Examines the integration of microalgae biorefineries into several industries

Book Description
In this assessment, we have evaluated target minimum biomass selling prices (MBSPs) of algae biomass production for four photobioreactor (PBR) designs compared to a previous open pond target case. We utilized techno-economic assessment modeling to determine if the target PBR cases can compete with open ponds for low-cost commodity fuels in an 'nth-plant' scenario. In the process, algal biomass is produced in one of the five cultivation options, including: open ponds, horizontal tubes, helical tubes, and two vertical bag/panel designs termed 'GWP-II flat panels' and 'Leidos hanging bags.' The projected target cultivation productivity for each PBR design was estimated based on the most credible literature data presenting PBR and pond cultivation on a directly comparable basis, and then extrapolating out to the future. Resulting productivities on an aerial basis were estimated to range from 25 g/m2/day to 52.5 g/m2/day (cultivation area). CO2, nutrients, and algae inoculum are supplied to the production area. After cultivation, the biomass is dewatered to 20 wt% solids in three stages including in-ground gravity settling, membrane filtration, and centrifugation. CO2 piping, water piping, and storage are also included in the analysis. Based on our recently published 'algae farm' design report, the open pond cultivation benchmark was set at an MBSP of $494/ton ash-free dry weight (AFDW). The horizontal tubes are large volume reactors with productivity similar to that of open ponds, but result in an MBSP of $708/ton AFDW. The helical tubes are made from glass and have a high capital investment resulting in a MBSP of $1,737/ton AFDW. The GWP-II PBR is a vertical flexible plastic flat-panel system with an estimated MBSP of $1,793/ton AFDW. Finally, the Leidos hanging bag system, which derives cultivation cost values based on inputs furnished by Algenol, results in an estimated MBSP of $639/ton AFDW.
