This is a presentation at the Abalone Farmers Assosiation of Southern Africa project meeting in 2003. It details the progress we made from 2000 - 2002 on using seaweeds as biofilters in aquaculture effluent
This document summarizes the current status of algal biofuel production and methods to intensify production. It discusses how algal biofuels can help address issues with fossil fuel consumption and emissions. Microalgae have advantages over land crops for biofuel production, including rapid growth rates and ability to use non-arable land and wastewater. Key steps in algal biofuel production include cultivating microalgae, harvesting, lipid extraction, and transesterification to produce biodiesel. A variety of cultivation and extraction methods are discussed, along with their impacts on lipid yields. Ultrasound and microwave-assisted extraction methods show promise for more efficient lipid recovery from algal biomass.
This document provides an overview of algae as a source of fuel. It discusses that algae can be cultivated rapidly using CO2, sunlight, and nutrients to produce oils that can then be extracted and processed into biofuels like biodiesel and biojet fuel. While algae-based fuels have been researched since the 1950s, production is still not economically viable at large scales. However, algae have significant advantages over other biofuel feedstocks as they can yield far more oil per acre cultivated and can use non-arable land and wastewater. The future potential of algae fuels depends on further reducing production costs through optimization of cultivation and extraction methods.

The document outlines the key characteristics of seaweeds like their thallus structure and lack of true roots, stems, and leaves. It also discusses economic uses of seaweeds and their role as primary producers. Finally, it briefly introduces flowering seagrasses, salt-marsh plants, and mangroves as examples of marine-adapted angiosperms.
Seaweeds products, processing and utilizationSameer Chebbi
This document discusses seaweeds and their utilization. It notes that seaweeds are a source of phyco-colloids like agar, algin, and carrageenan, which are used in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The document outlines the extraction processes for these three major phyco-colloids and their various industrial and commercial uses. It also provides details on seaweed production and the species commonly used for each type of phyco-colloid.
Algae are a diverse group of organisms that range from unicellular to multicellular forms. They are found in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Reproduction in algae can occur through vegetative, asexual, and sexual means. Vegetative reproduction is by fragmentation. Asexual reproduction is through spores like zoospores. Sexual reproduction involves fusion of gametes that can be isogamous, anisogamous, or oogamous. Algae are classified into three main groups - green algae, brown algae, and red algae - based on pigments and other characteristics.
This document discusses single cell protein (SCP), which refers to microbial cells or protein extracted from pure microbial cells that can be used as a protein supplement for humans and animals. SCP has several advantages over traditional protein sources, such as faster growth rates and the ability to use a wide range of raw materials. However, SCP also has some limitations, such as high nucleic acid content and potential for contamination. The document describes various methods of SCP production using different substrates like ethanol, molasses, and carbon dioxide. It provides examples of specific SCP products and their properties and applications for human and animal consumption.
Single cell protein (SCP) refers to protein extracted from pure cultures of microorganisms like yeast, algae, fungi and bacteria. It can be used as a protein supplement for humans and animals. SCP is produced by growing microorganisms on substrates through fermentation. The microbes are then harvested, processed and treated to isolate and purify the protein. SCP has potential advantages as a sustainable protein source but also risks if toxic microbes or byproducts are consumed.
The document provides information on seaweeds or macroalgae. It discusses their taxonomy, structure, ecology, common genera and uses. Seaweeds are a source of food, hydrocolloids like agar and carrageenan used in food production, and have applications in medicine, fertilizer, and other industrial uses. The Philippines cultivates various seaweed species like Eucheuma and Kappaphycus which are sources of carrageenan, an emulsifier used in food and other industries. Seaweed farming involves selecting a suitable pollution-free site and using culture methods like stakes, suspended ropes, or raft and spider web systems to grow the seaweeds.
Single-cell protein (SCP), specifically yeast, algae, fungi and bacteria, is being investigated as a solution to the global food problem. SCP shows promise as an alternative protein source for both human and animal consumption. Key benefits include its high protein content, ease and speed of production, and ability to use waste materials as a substrate. However, SCP also faces challenges such as potentially high nucleic acid content and production costs that must be addressed. Continued research is needed to optimize SCP nutritional profiles and develop products that are cost-competitive and similar to familiar foods.
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can be found in almost every environment. They have basic prokaryotic morphology and can exist as single cells or in colonies. Cyanobacteria are cultivated through stock cultures in lab media or large-scale fermentation. They reproduce through cell division and form specialized cells called heterocysts and akinetes. Cyanobacteria play an important role in photosynthesis and the evolution of chloroplasts in eukaryotes.
Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that can range in size from microscopic to large seaweeds. They are classified into seven phyla based on characteristics like color, chloroplast contents, and cell wall composition. Algae reproduce both sexually through meiosis and asexually through mitosis. The most common forms of sexual reproduction include zoospores, gametes, and zygospores. Key phyla include the Chlorophyta (green algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Rhodophyta (red algae).
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to examine the increasing economic feasibility of algae biofuels. Algae can be grown in places where traditional crops cannot be grown and it consumes carbon dioxide, thus making it better than traditional sources of biofuels. It can also be harvested every 10 days thus making its oil yield per acre 200 times higher than corn and 40 times higher than sunflowers. The problem is that harvesting and extracting the algae requires large amounts of labor and energy (drying) and the algae may damage surrounding eco-systems. Thus new and better processes along with large scale production are needed to solve these problems. These slides discuss the various approaches (open pond, photo-bioreactor, fermentation), their advantages and disadvantages, their existing and future costs, and other improvements that are driving steadily falling costs. In the short term, algae will continue to be used in niche applications such as cosmetics, food, and fertilizers. In the long run, as the cost reductions continue, algae might become a major source of fuel for transportation and other applications.
This document discusses single cell protein (SCP) as an alternative protein source. It provides information on the protein content and amino acid composition of various microorganisms used for SCP production, including yeasts, fungi, bacteria and algae.

El Plan Nacional de Competencias Digitales persigue dar respuesta a retos como el riesgo de exclusión digital de colectivos, la brecha de género en el acceso a las competencias digitales, falta de digitalización en el entorno educativo y formativo, la escasez de especialistas TIC y el desajuste entre oferta y demanda de capacidades.
ACTIVA Industria 4.0 es un programa de asesoramiento especializado y personalizado, realizado por consultoras acreditadas y con experiencia en implantación de proyectos de Industria 4.0 que se realiza con la metodología desarrollada por la Secretaría General de Industria y de la PYME. Este programa permite a las empresas disponer de un diagnóstico de situación y de un plan de transformación que identifique los habilitadores digitales necesarios en ese proceso de transformación y establezca la hoja de ruta para su implantación. El asesoramiento se complementa con talleres demostrativos sobre tecnologías habilitadoras.
