A cquisition and exploitation of algae biomass from eutrophicated natural water reservoirs Aquatic biomass as a potential source…………. The work has been funded from a National Project POIG.01.01.02-00-016/08 in the Innovative Economy Operational Programme 2007-2013 and co-funded by the European Union using financial funds of the European Regional Development Fund.
13. Gulf of Gdansk Kortowskie Lake Aquatic biomass as a potential source…………. The objective of this Project is to develop a technology for the separation and condensation of algae biomass originating from eutrophicated and degraded natural aquifers nad use algae biomass for biogas production . Research works scheduled in the p roject are conducted at three water regions .

16. P ilot station operating in the fractal-technical scale designed and built at the Vistula Lagoon in Frombork Its functioning is based on the use of an own-construction floatator and a system of drum microfilters . The exploitation of this station will enable the precise determination of the quantity of biomass that may be produced from this water area, and estimation of the economic effectiveness of this system.

22. Efficiency of biogas production from algae biomass Aquatic biomass as a potential source…………. The highest technological effectiveness of biogas production was noted at organic compounds loading ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 kg d.m./m 3 ∙ d. The yield of biogas production, in the best cases, accounted for approximately 400 m 3 /t d .m. with biogas content exceeding 70 %. Increasing the loading with organic compounds resulted in a reduced yield of the biogas production . 63 205 71 2 79 70 346 november 67 215 70 2 77 69 309 october 65 2 09 69 2 96 71 312 september 65 335 74 403 74 407 august 68 317 73 399 71 395 july 64 329 73 384 74 368 jun 67 341 70 396 72 370 may Methane content [%] Biogas production efficiency [m 3 /kg d. m.] Methane content [%] Biogas production efficiency [m 3 /kg d. m.] Methane content [%] Biogas production efficiency [m 3 /kg d. m.] Sampling term 3,0 kg s.m./m 3 · d 2,0 kg s.m./m 3 · d 1,0 kg s.m./m 3 · d Loading
23. Aquatic biomass as a potential source…………. Conclusion A lgae biomass may be picked up from natural aquifers only periodically, especially in the periods of heavy blooming observed in the summer months, generally from May till September. Hence, studies are underway into the possibility of preservation of this type of biomass and running fermentation together with biomass of typical energetic crops, including: maize, alfalfa, Virginia fanpetals. Nowadays algae are perceived as one of the types of biomass with a very high energetic potential. In the technical scale, they are cultured mainly for feedstuff or foodstuff purposes, however there are also some biorefineries operating in the technical scale. The use of this type of substrate for methane fermentation seems also promising, which has been proved by results of world wide investigations.
