Title

An Overview on Micro-Algae Biofuel Production

Abstract

Many experts believe that the most difficult aspect of commercializing microalgal biofuel is effective harvesting. Despite the fact that microalgal biomass may be "energy dense," the algae growth in dilute suspension at approximately 0.02–0.05 percent dry solids presents significant difficulties in establishing a sustainable energy budget in segments and sub biofuel process operations. The tiny size of micro-algal cells, the comparable density of algal cells to the growing medium, the net negative charge on the algae, and the algal growth rates, which need frequent harvesting relative to land plants, all add to the difficulties of micro-algal harvest. Sedimentation, flocculation, flotation, centrifugation, filtration, or a combination of these techniques may all be used to harvest algae. This study examines the different techniques for collecting and dewatering microalgae for biofuel generation. There does not seem to be a single or combination of harvesting techniques that is suitable for all microalgae, and the harvesting method will have a significant effect on the design and management of the both upstream and downstream operations in a microalgal biofuel production process.
