                April 27, 2011
Industry Need – Why are we doing
                this?

• Recent boom in algae biofuels industry (in both technology
  and funding)
• Industry is currently stifled by fragmented and unproven
  processing technologies that only address one part of the
  overall processing chain
Why CEM?

• Experience with process/technology
  integration
• Experience with multidisciplinary problems
• Skilled at bridging the gap between
  fundamental research and technology
  commercialization
Examples of other projects
Prior Work

• Scaled up growth capability up to 2,500 gal
• Built and tested technologies needed for ETE processing
   – Concentration, lysing, separation and extraction
   – Developed measurement and quantification techniques and
     procedures
• Spent over 2 years processing batches of algae between
  1000 – 3000 gal/batch ETE
   – Compiled mass / energy balance performed on ETE processing



    NEXT STEP  Integrate all technologies
Demonstration Scale Requirements

• End-To-End (ETE) processing capability
• Capacity – up to several acres / day
• Modularity – Each module can be stand-alone or
  integrated
• Can process all variations of growth media
• Can process any growth method
• Allow grower to produce/see oil at the end of the
  day
• Mobility
• Demonstrate scalability
• Demonstrate economics

Algae program robert pearsall - june 2011

  • 1. Mobile Algae Processing System Demonstration Unit Robert Pearsall r.pearsall@cem.utexas.edu April 27, 2011
  • 2. Industry Need – Why are we doing this? • Recent boom in algae biofuels industry (in both technology and funding) • Industry is currently stifled by fragmented and unproven processing technologies that only address one part of the overall processing chain
  • 3. Why CEM? • Experience with process/technology integration • Experience with multidisciplinary problems • Skilled at bridging the gap between fundamental research and technology commercialization
  • 4. Examples of other projects
  • 5. Prior Work • Scaled up growth capability up to 2,500 gal • Built and tested technologies needed for ETE processing – Concentration, lysing, separation and extraction – Developed measurement and quantification techniques and procedures • Spent over 2 years processing batches of algae between 1000 – 3000 gal/batch ETE – Compiled mass / energy balance performed on ETE processing NEXT STEP  Integrate all technologies
  • 6. Demonstration Scale Requirements • End-To-End (ETE) processing capability • Capacity – up to several acres / day • Modularity – Each module can be stand-alone or integrated • Can process all variations of growth media • Can process any growth method • Allow grower to produce/see oil at the end of the day • Mobility • Demonstrate scalability • Demonstrate economics
