Bobby, Materials and energy balances are important to any process flow diagram for several reasons. However, your point is well taken. From a standpoint of...

Bobby, The difference in the coal example is that you do not have to account for the production of energy, you are taking about only conversion of energy. And...

They are missing an important number. How much oil per kg of carbon feedstock. What is the overall conversion rate? The biomass is ~ 50% by drycell weight but...
Bruce, Do you think it might work as a flocculant? I am also considering using it to remove gypsum from drinking water. Bobby ... -- Toward freedom, Bobby...
Bobby, I am not sure.. I will think about it over the fourth.. Sure would be quick to test..Have a great 4th.. See you on the other side .. Bruce and Eric ......
Alex, You are correct - there are absurd claims being made. I fear that there are lots of scam artists trying to follow whatever is hot this month to see if...

Hans, I don't think you got my point. Let's say we find out that if we keep the algae ponds at 100F, the algae grows real well. So we have to burn lots of ...
Bobby, for what i know it works only with the suspended solids. Cannot work with the dissolved elements. If alum (aluminum sulphate) has too much acidity, you...
Bobby, Yes..but heat is a waste product of electric power as well as the CO2.. Also they could make the raceways on top of the used mines as they dig and...

Even worse - experienced scammers screwing inexperienced scammees. Quite a

Bobby - exactly. Once we understand the M&E balances, we are in a position
to more accurately assess the viability, recognizing full well that
different energy...

Alex, Reading between the lines, there may be some info here that could help when trying to floc out algae. Also, it says that alum can give a boost to sand...

Hi Bobby: Let's get back to the objective of algae processing. Aren't we trying to
remove lipids/oils/organics from the mass and then recycle what is left?...
Alex, First we have to get the algae out of the culture. Removing lipids is second. I assume your point was that we should not use a treatment that prevents us...
