The biggest breakthrough is that the harvester pulls water from the  screened algae using low-energy capillary action. Thus the algae is  dewatered without pressure and separates easily from the screen when  dry. Drying can occur naturally through evaporation or mechanically with  a small amount of waste heat. The technology offers the potential to  transform the economics of algae-based biofuel production by removing  one of the major barriers to large scale commercialization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a well-known fact that\u00a0 harvesting and drying adds considerably to the overall cost of oil from algae.
