Question: What if one were to homogenize the medium (thus breaking down the cell walls), then run the resulting slurry through a centrifuge? Would that not...
Alex, It is my understanding that centrifuges are expensive. I am hoping that letting the slurry set for a day or two will be sufficient to let the oil go to...
I reckon that the most efficient way to go would be putting slurry through a bead mill (ie Dyno-mill), to break the cell walls down. Then simply settling...

John, The Dynamill (or equivalent) sounds like a good way to break down the cell walls. Your filters are probably a good idea for getting the cake and the fine...
Fellow Oil from Algae compatriots, I have been following the group for some time, and I am in the process of writing an article for the Permaculture Activist...
i am sorry but with my bad english i d'ont understand what expellers is? can someone explain to me? __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL –...
Jules, Expeller is the machine to press the oil out of (usually) nuts and grains. It can be a simple, home-made lever press or an expensive, factory made ...
Hi all, I urgently need scientific sources in which are indicated the algae oil yields ( confronted to seed plant oil yields). As i know they're about...
Magius, If you follow the references in Tom's post yesterday, you will find several. If I were quoting, I would use the summary report on the aquatic species ...
A friend of mine, Philip Tarling, lives in the UK. He's studying concept of oil from algae, however, he's not convinced it will work well for the area he...
Alex and Phillip, Algae only needs 1/10 of full sun for its best growth rate. Maybe you need to build the raceways with two depths - a deeper one for full sun...
I have thought about this a bit. Our native algae in Mid Wales are scenedesmus, which are supposed to bear oil. We have had our first killing frosts this last...
John, I suspect that we may be miscommunicating about raceways. The ones the Aquatic Species project were proposing were earthen, shallow pools with a paddle...
On impulse, I visited the NASA technical reports server (http://ntrs.nasa.gov) and put in the search term "algae." 81 hits. Sadly, most of the really ...
thanks for your answer i keep one trying to understand everything. we do have in france a student who wants to produce some oil with algae. he do wants to use...
The two strains used successfully by GreenFuels Technology are two strains of green algae, Dunaliella parva (UTEX LB1983) and Dunaliella tertiolecta (UTEX...
Jules, My personal favorite is CCMP647. But we have on the list a gentleman from England who plans to use chorella. So your student may be right. Bobby ... ...
Tom, In our terms, I'm nor sure that GreenFuels Technology is successful. They have kept the algae alive. They have removed significant percentages of CO2 and...
Bobby, I don't believe that GreenFuel's primary endeavor is to create biodiesel. As you said, they have significantly reduced CO2 and NOx emissions, and the...
Alex, This is just a semantic difference. But they do mention, in the promotional material on their website, making oil. They seem to be focused on scrubbing...

Jules, I am trying a Chlorella species. Before I found this list I studied the work done at NREL, and by Benemann and Oswald, and I chose chlorella for...
... Hey, blame James Bowery. That was all his work; and I believe that the simulate was based on an empirical formula. I recommend the f/2. Um... Sorry for...
excellent culture recipes at this link http://www.ccap.ac.uk Chlorella comes in jaworskis medium and euglena gracilis medium. These are MUCH more dilute than...
Greetings to All on the Oil From Algae List, I'm new to this list, this is my first posting, so I'll Introduce myself: I'm Alex, Living in the SF Bay area of...
Alex, Nobody here is much ahead of you. Greenfuels is using dan.... that they got from UTEX. I believe UTEX also has Chorllea(SP?) variants that some people...
