The PEF applies 10-30 kV\/cm electric pulses for 2 to 20 microseconds  to an algal slurry which rupture the cell walls to release biodiesel  compounds such as methyl hexadecanoate. Diversified estimates this low energy process of lysing algae cells  would account for about $0.10\/gal. of the price of algae-derived biofuel  compared to $1.75\/gal. for conventional drying.<\/p>\n<p>See more at<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/biofuelsdigest.com\/bdigest\/2011\/02\/27\/diversified-technology-debuts-low-cost-algal-oil-extraction-technology\/\">http:\/\/biofuelsdigest.com\/bdigest\/2011\/02\/27\/diversified-technology-debuts-low-cost-algal-oil-extraction-technology\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Massachusetts, Diversified Technologies\u2019 announced that they have introduced low-cost process (patent pending) for the pre-treatment of algae using pulsed electric field (PEF) technology to streamline the extraction of oils from algal cells early in the biorefining process.
