Systematic analysis of algalbio-fuel production integrated with domestic wastewater treatment in Armenia By: Mambreh Gharakhani Supervisors: Dr. Artak Hambarian 	        Dr. Edwin Safari Referee: Dr. Aram Hajian Special Thanks to: Dr.Knel Touryan Special Thanks to: Prof. Evrik Afrikian
Objectives ,[object Object]
Assessment of the economic and technical feasibility and efficiency of wastewater treatment using algae and influencing parameters based on past experience,[object Object]
	The plan (?) Waste water Algae Green house gasses(CO2, NO2, CH4) Biomass, Biofuel fertilizer, etc..
Problems Related to Armenia ,[object Object]
   The existing networks collect waste water from 60-80% of urban areas, while rural areas do not basically have sewage systems, so that waste water is entirely discharged into the river basin.Eutrophication (algal bloom) We are Dying
What is Algae?
Bad Attitude Algae : Sea weeds Algae : Pond Scum Algae : Frog Spittle
Algae: simple plants, they do not have complex system (Xylem and phloem) to circulate water and nutrients Autotrophic: Using sunlight  Heterotrophic: does not require sunlight  and Use organic Carbon (CH2O)n instead carbon dioxide + water + sunlight-> carbohydrate + oxygen multicellular forms:  seaweed (Macro algae) and unicellular species which Microalgae: unicellular ,exist individually, or in chains or groups
Algae are the source of planetโ€™s oxygen and absorb most of CO2  โ€“ โ€œDirty Waterโ€. Species flourish in brackish, Saline and wastewater.  โ€ข Wastewater nutrients support highly productive algal cultures
Microalgae ,[object Object],Composition of microalgae (dry basis): protein (12โ€“35%); lipid (7.2โ€“23%); carbohydrate (4.6โ€“23%). ,[object Object]
scientists are trying to speed up the same process by mass producing the algal cells and consequently develop methods to use them in transportation fuel production, (Biofuel-Biodiesel),[object Object]
Biomass: is low cost plant matter for production of commodities (feeds, fuels, foods, fibers, chemicals) Algae yield: 30 tones/acre. year  Other crops: 15 tones/ acre. year
comparison of oil yield for various oilseed crops Source: Bennenmen,2008
Micro algae Imagine if we could ,[object Object]
Grow a fuel without polluting the atmosphere
Harvest a crop every day instead of yearly
Generate up to 300 times more biomass per acre
Grow Crops in both fresh and sea water, also in wastewater (sewage)Bonus: microalgae can be used in the wastewater treatment as the micro organisms influencing the cleaning process Well we can! >> Micro-algae will do all these things
What algae needs for growth and productivity of biomass? A little bit of everythingโ€ฆ โ€ข Sunlight โ€ขTemperature โ€ขWater (Fresh, brackish, wastewater, etc.) โ€ขSupply of carbon dioxide (use exhaust of power plants) โ€ขMacronutrients: C, N, P, Mg, Ca, K, Na, Cl, NO3, NH4 โ€ขMicronutrients (Trace elements): Fe, B, Zn, Mn, Mo, Cu, SO4, Co, Al, Br, Etc..
Energy from photosynthesis The energy - in the form of biomass - that can be obtained via photosynthesis thus depends on the level of PAR and the efficiency of the conversion process Q.  			Ebiomass= PAR x Q  Micro algae eight photons to capture one molecule of CO2into carbohydrate (CH2O)nGiven that one mole of CH2O has a heating value of 468kJ and that the mean energy of a mole of PAR photons is 217.4kJ, then the maximum theoretical conversion efficiency of PAR energy into carbohydrates is:  				468kJ/(8 x 217.4kJ) = 27%  In Practical Case: decreases to 10%

Which Algae Production Technology? Microalgae were first mass cultured on rooftop at MIT during the early 1950s, first mention of algae biofuels in report of that project.  The energy shocks of the 1970s led renewed study of microalgae biofuels, methane combination with wastewater treatment . 1980 - 1995
Which Algae Production Technology? ,[object Object]
High Rate Algal Ponds are the most economical technology but are presently not cost effective for biofuel production alone.(Dr.JasonPark,2009),[object Object]
Which Algae Production Technology? Closed photobioreactors are economic for high value applications (nutraceuticals) but are presently not cost effective for biofuel production
Technologies Based On wastewater treatment Biodiesel production from algae grown in wastewater has the potential to address three important goals:  Development of new energy sources (oil production) Management of agricultural wastes to protect aquatic environment  Reduction of the global anthropogenic green house effect
Direct Cost Direct production costs(combined annual maintenance and operating costs) contribute highest: 	68% Nutrient expenses: 	33.7% Labor and overheads: 	24% Water: 			16% Electricity: 		7%
Ideal Goal:  Biofuels from Algae: using Non-Fresh Water Sources
Implementation of proposed technology in real life in one of the major treatment centers ,[object Object]
 The site is in city of Gavar near to second largest wastewater treatment plant
It dumps the incomplete treated wastewater  with a flow rate of 2400 cubic meter per day.
The average temperature in the coldest month is take 5
By this example I try to model the economics: cost, efficiency, investment, and environmental impact of the proposed method.,[object Object]
Comparative capital cost for Different WWT Technologies Capital Cost Comparison between WWT technologies + 80000 $ each year for maintenance  Total electricity requirements measured in kWh/MGD at various flow rates
22000) 30000 Momodelind sample 50% -60% min. monthly average (January) ยฐ C - 15 max. monthly average (August) ยฐ C + 17 Flow rate: 3200 m3/day Average temp of coldest month:  5 ยฐ c  ,[object Object]
The local economy is improving in a very slow rate
BOD5 and suspended solids values were very low: not metered water consumption, leaking water pipes causing large infiltration amounts in the sewers and connections existing between sewerage and storm water network.
Same latitude as Denver city~ 30000 liters oil/ hectare . Year (Kristina M. Weyer, Al Darzins, โ€œTheoretical and maximum algal productionโ€, Springerlink.com)
Table. 1: Input parameters for  wastewater in Gavar  30000 ร— 100 ร— 80% ร— 10-3 = 2400
The Alternative options for the solution (Cultivation of algae)  1. The traditional wastewater ponds system 2. Advance integrated wastewater treatment 3. Photobioreactor integrated with wastewater treatment Algal biomass harvesting Oil extraction
Traditional wastewater ponds Primary Facultative pond Secondary facultative pond   (algal high rate pond) Algae settling ponds Maturation pond
Primary Facultative pond aerobic bacteria and algae 1-3 intermediate zone anaerobic bacteria
NH4-  ammonia is the source of nitrogen Biological Oxygen Demand
Secondary facultative pond   (algal high rate pond) Wastewater treatment High Rate Algal Ponds are presently the only option for cost-effective biofuel production due to co-benefits of wastewater treatment, nutrient recovery and GHG abatement  + The various byproducts.
Settlingponds To increase the concentration of algae in up to 3 g/l Decrease the operational and power consumption costs 50 to 80 percent of algae can be removed.  If higher degrees of algae are required secondary harvesting method is required.
2. Advanced Integrated Wastewater Ponds System  Advanced Facultative pond Secondary facultative pond   (algal high rate pond) Algae settling ponds Maturation pond
Algal Settling Ponds Advanced Facultative Pond Maturation Pond High Rate Pond Paddlewheel (3โ€“6 rpm) Fermentation pit Raw Wastewater Effluent 4.0 - 6.0 m deep 0.1- 0.3 m deep 1.0 m deep 1.0-2.0 m deep Advanced Integrated Ponds system
Example: High Rate Ponds in Florida
Algae growth in HRP
200 m2 Raceway  Vero Beach
3. Photo bioreactor integrated with wastewater
Area Calculated for Photo bioreactor for 2 million gallons of biodiesel
Algae Harvesting Concentration of diluted algae suspension until a thick Algae paste is obtained Primary harvesting Auto flocculation Flocculation Centrifugation

Final Presentation 2010 Up

  • 1. Systematic analysis of algalbio-fuel production integrated with domestic wastewater treatment in Armenia By: Mambreh Gharakhani Supervisors: Dr. Artak Hambarian Dr. Edwin Safari Referee: Dr. Aram Hajian Special Thanks to: Dr.Knel Touryan Special Thanks to: Prof. Evrik Afrikian
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 4. The plan (?) Waste water Algae Green house gasses(CO2, NO2, CH4) Biomass, Biofuel fertilizer, etc..
  • 5.
  • 6. The existing networks collect waste water from 60-80% of urban areas, while rural areas do not basically have sewage systems, so that waste water is entirely discharged into the river basin.Eutrophication (algal bloom) We are Dying
  • 8. Bad Attitude Algae : Sea weeds Algae : Pond Scum Algae : Frog Spittle
  • 9. Algae: simple plants, they do not have complex system (Xylem and phloem) to circulate water and nutrients Autotrophic: Using sunlight Heterotrophic: does not require sunlight and Use organic Carbon (CH2O)n instead carbon dioxide + water + sunlight-> carbohydrate + oxygen multicellular forms: seaweed (Macro algae) and unicellular species which Microalgae: unicellular ,exist individually, or in chains or groups
  • 10. Algae are the source of planetโ€™s oxygen and absorb most of CO2 โ€“ โ€œDirty Waterโ€. Species flourish in brackish, Saline and wastewater. โ€ข Wastewater nutrients support highly productive algal cultures
  • 11.
  • 12.
  • 13. Biomass: is low cost plant matter for production of commodities (feeds, fuels, foods, fibers, chemicals) Algae yield: 30 tones/acre. year Other crops: 15 tones/ acre. year
  • 14. comparison of oil yield for various oilseed crops Source: Bennenmen,2008
  • 15.
  • 16. Grow a fuel without polluting the atmosphere
  • 17. Harvest a crop every day instead of yearly
  • 18. Generate up to 300 times more biomass per acre
  • 19. Grow Crops in both fresh and sea water, also in wastewater (sewage)Bonus: microalgae can be used in the wastewater treatment as the micro organisms influencing the cleaning process Well we can! >> Micro-algae will do all these things
  • 20. What algae needs for growth and productivity of biomass? A little bit of everythingโ€ฆ โ€ข Sunlight โ€ขTemperature โ€ขWater (Fresh, brackish, wastewater, etc.) โ€ขSupply of carbon dioxide (use exhaust of power plants) โ€ขMacronutrients: C, N, P, Mg, Ca, K, Na, Cl, NO3, NH4 โ€ขMicronutrients (Trace elements): Fe, B, Zn, Mn, Mo, Cu, SO4, Co, Al, Br, Etc..
  • 21. Energy from photosynthesis The energy - in the form of biomass - that can be obtained via photosynthesis thus depends on the level of PAR and the efficiency of the conversion process Q. Ebiomass= PAR x Q Micro algae eight photons to capture one molecule of CO2into carbohydrate (CH2O)nGiven that one mole of CH2O has a heating value of 468kJ and that the mean energy of a mole of PAR photons is 217.4kJ, then the maximum theoretical conversion efficiency of PAR energy into carbohydrates is: 468kJ/(8 x 217.4kJ) = 27% In Practical Case: decreases to 10%
  • 22. 1 3 5 2 4
  • 23. Which Algae Production Technology? Microalgae were first mass cultured on rooftop at MIT during the early 1950s, first mention of algae biofuels in report of that project. The energy shocks of the 1970s led renewed study of microalgae biofuels, methane combination with wastewater treatment . 1980 - 1995
  • 24.
  • 25.
  • 26. Which Algae Production Technology? Closed photobioreactors are economic for high value applications (nutraceuticals) but are presently not cost effective for biofuel production
  • 27. Technologies Based On wastewater treatment Biodiesel production from algae grown in wastewater has the potential to address three important goals: Development of new energy sources (oil production) Management of agricultural wastes to protect aquatic environment Reduction of the global anthropogenic green house effect
  • 28. Direct Cost Direct production costs(combined annual maintenance and operating costs) contribute highest: 68% Nutrient expenses: 33.7% Labor and overheads: 24% Water: 16% Electricity: 7%
  • 29. Ideal Goal: Biofuels from Algae: using Non-Fresh Water Sources
  • 30.
  • 31. The site is in city of Gavar near to second largest wastewater treatment plant
  • 32. It dumps the incomplete treated wastewater with a flow rate of 2400 cubic meter per day.
  • 33. The average temperature in the coldest month is take 5
  • 34.
  • 35. Comparative capital cost for Different WWT Technologies Capital Cost Comparison between WWT technologies + 80000 $ each year for maintenance Total electricity requirements measured in kWh/MGD at various flow rates
  • 36.
  • 37. The local economy is improving in a very slow rate
  • 38. BOD5 and suspended solids values were very low: not metered water consumption, leaking water pipes causing large infiltration amounts in the sewers and connections existing between sewerage and storm water network.
  • 39. Same latitude as Denver city~ 30000 liters oil/ hectare . Year (Kristina M. Weyer, Al Darzins, โ€œTheoretical and maximum algal productionโ€, Springerlink.com)
  • 40. Table. 1: Input parameters for wastewater in Gavar 30000 ร— 100 ร— 80% ร— 10-3 = 2400
  • 41. The Alternative options for the solution (Cultivation of algae) 1. The traditional wastewater ponds system 2. Advance integrated wastewater treatment 3. Photobioreactor integrated with wastewater treatment Algal biomass harvesting Oil extraction
  • 42. Traditional wastewater ponds Primary Facultative pond Secondary facultative pond (algal high rate pond) Algae settling ponds Maturation pond
  • 43. Primary Facultative pond aerobic bacteria and algae 1-3 intermediate zone anaerobic bacteria
  • 44. NH4- ammonia is the source of nitrogen Biological Oxygen Demand
  • 45. Secondary facultative pond (algal high rate pond) Wastewater treatment High Rate Algal Ponds are presently the only option for cost-effective biofuel production due to co-benefits of wastewater treatment, nutrient recovery and GHG abatement + The various byproducts.
  • 46. Settlingponds To increase the concentration of algae in up to 3 g/l Decrease the operational and power consumption costs 50 to 80 percent of algae can be removed. If higher degrees of algae are required secondary harvesting method is required.
  • 47. 2. Advanced Integrated Wastewater Ponds System Advanced Facultative pond Secondary facultative pond (algal high rate pond) Algae settling ponds Maturation pond

  • 57. Oil extraction from photobioreactor
  • 58.
  • 59. Algal oil to Biodiesel Transesterification Transesterification is the process that the algae oil must go through to become biodiesel. It is a simple chemical reaction requiring only four steps and two chemicals: 1. Mix methanol and sodium hydroxide creates sodium methoxide 2. Mix sodium methoxide into algae oil 3. Allow to settle for about 8 hours 4. Drain glycerin and filter biodiesel to 5 microns
