摘要:
A method of producing mineral-rich algae by growing algae with an algae biofilm growing apparatus, wherein the algae is fed a mineral-rich feed stock. Furthermore, the mineral-rich algae is harvested and used as a foodstuff for human and animal consumption.
摘要:
A method of using microorganisms to remove a pollutant from a fluid by exposing microorganisms to a fluid containing a pollutant, the microorganisms uptake the pollutant, then the microorganisms are exposed to a condition in order to stimulate the microorganisms to release the pollutant. Furthermore, the microorganisms are harvested and used as a foodstuff for human and animal consumption.
摘要:
An algal growth system can include a flexible sheet material, where the flexible sheet material can be configured to facilitate the growth and attachment of algae. The algal growth system can include a plurality of shafts, where the plurality of shafts can be associated with and support the flexible sheet material, a gear system, a drive motor, where the drive motor can be coupled with the gear system, where the drive motor can actuate the gear system and the plurality of shafts such that the flexible sheet material can be actuated, a fluid reservoir, where the flexible sheet material can be configured to pass through the fluid reservoir, a contacting liquid, and a liquid phase and a gaseous phase.
摘要:
Pythium, when cultured with crude glycerol as a carbon source, produces useful polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The crude glycerol is pretreated to remove soaps and methanol. An exemplary Pythium species for use in the production of EPA is Pythium irregulare.

摘要:
A multiphase culturing process for high density heterotrophic microalgal growth uses crude glycerol as the primary carbon source and produces ω-3 fatty acids. The process uses multiphase growth conditions that decouple the phases of increasing cell density and increasing cell size and fatty acid production. The entire process is integrated with biodiesel production.
摘要:
An algal growth system can include a frame and a flexible sheet material that can have a substantially vertical orientation, where the flexible sheet material can be configured to facilitate the growth and attachment of algae, where the flexible sheet material can be supported by the frame. The algal growth system can include a first drive shaft, where the first drive shaft can be coupled with the frame, where the first drive shaft can support and actuate the flexible sheet material, a gear system, where the gear system can be coupled with the first drive shaft, a first roller, where the first roller can be coupled with the frame and can be configured to guide the flexible sheet material, and a drive motor, where the drive motor can be coupled with the gear system, where the drive motor can actuate the gear system and the at least one drive shaft such that the flexible sheet material can be actuated.
