Growing Microalgae from Sewage Lagoons
A user posted the following, which I thought was worth discussing:
“This pertains to another comment about using sewage lagoons of small communities to grow microalgae. It would seem that the University of New Hampshire is already involved in research about ‘Growing Microalgae from Sewage Lagoons’.
Of particular note is that algae ponds are used in waste water treatment plants. I think it would be well worth reading any research papers that have dealt with this. It also might be worth tapping the contacts there and letting them know that this blog is starting so they can check in periodically and make comments.”
I would request any more inputs in this regard. The interesting aspect of the post is the involvement of small, local communities in producing energy, which holds interesting possibilities…

Oilgae.com provides links, provides directory and web links resources for the algae-based biofuels & biodiesel. It is intended to be useful for research, information, inputs, news for buyers, sellers, manufacturers, traders, suppliers, producers, exporters and importers of algal oil and algal fuels. It will make an effort to provide info on biofuel feedstock, algal feedstocks, algae oil info and link, details on fuel from algae, bio-fuel, bio-diesel, bio-fuels, algal oils production and uses, and biofuels trade & market resources, data, statistics such as price, prices, demand-supply for buyer, seller, manufacturer, trader, supplier, exporter and producer

Is there a source to find out what the nutrient (enzyme and protein) contents and O2 output of a particular genus of algae? Thanks, Judd

The Photobioreactors are used in producing an
alternative source of energy in the form of bio fuels from algae. There are
extensive studies and research done in order to perfect the process in deriving
clean and natural fuels from algae biomass. Not only is this source good for
the planet but is also cost effective and possible for use even in average
households.
