    Algae Photobioreactor Guide

    Uploaded by

    Peyman Sazandehchi
    The document discusses algae fuel as a renewable biofuel alternative to fossil fuels. Algae fuel is produced from algae through photosynthesis using sunlight, CO2 and nutrients. It has several advantages over other biofuels and fossil fuels such as higher oil yields, consuming CO2 emissions, and minimal land usage. The document outlines the algae cultivation process and potential benefits of algae fuel for Bangladesh, including energy independence, reduced pollution, economic growth and job creation.

    Algae Fuel

    The green fuel for greener tomorrow

    By SHAIKH SIRAJ MD ASKER Class: XI, Science (E/M)

    What is Algae fuel?


    Is

    a process of using sun energy. fuel, oilgae, algaeoleum or thirdgeneration bio-fuel from algae

    Algal

    Bio-fuel

    Vegetable

    oil, bio-diesel, bio-ethanol, bio-gasoline, bio-methanol, bio-butanol

    Two Success Stories

    GreenFuel Technologies in Cambridge, MA is field testing a closed system that uses the CO2 in power plant fuel gases (13% of fuel gases in the test) to feed algae. Significantly reduced the CO2 concentration in the exhaust by 82.3% on sunny days and by 50.1% on cloudy days During the beta-test at the Cogeneration Plant at MIT. The process also removed 85.9% of nitrogen oxides. They estimates the cost of a fullscale system installation to be 20% to 40% less than that of a comparable SCR system (pollutant scrubbers).

    Glen Kertz, president and CEO of Valcent Products, told CNN By going vertical, you can get a lot more surface area to expose cells to the sunlight. It keeps the algae hanging in the sunlight just long enough to pick up the solar energy they need to produce, to go through photosynthesis He can produce about 100,000 gallons (94,000 m3/km2) of algae oil a year per acre, compared to about 30 gallons per acre from

    How Algae fuel can help Bangladesh?

    Present Condition Of Energy

    Present consumption 16.6 million ton Dhaka with most pollution Huge import Government losses Not adequate supply Affecting economy Demand increasing

    How Algae fuel can help


    us?

    Self-sufficiency No import Reduce environmental pollution Maintain balance in supply Rising economy Rising food production Reducing unemployment

    A Rough Estimate 6% of area of Dhaka is under road Let , has average width 30 m If we use 1m on average on each side for algae then total area comes under cultivation is 1.216x106 m2. If we use loop system then we can grow 1.136M ton of fuel. If we do this in all the cities and towns around Bangladesh we will be almost able to meet our fuel demand

    Reduce carbon Balancing Nature Fuel security Stability in supply Improve climate Better economy Peace
