Growing Algae for BiodieselGROWING ALGAE FOR BUSINESS With this problem at hand many companies are trying to develop alternative fuel from algae. Big companies are joining in the bandwagon in growing algae for business. Everyone can grow algae if money is not an object. Algae are one of the easiest living organisms to propagate. It can grow to any conceivable environment as long as it is well nourished and has lots of sun and a lot of carbon dioxide an environment favorable to algae’s. there are different methods that can be used to grow algae, the open pond method, where algae are grown in ponds but the down side of this process is that the algae’s can be easily contaminated. The other method is the vertical growing method with use of bioreactors. Algae’s are collected and placed in a clear plastic filled with water, then it will be hanged vertically to be able to collect enough sun light for photosynthesis and then tube are connected to the plastics for carbon dioxide supply of each set of plastic, then there is also a tube for water and recycled water. Another method for growing algae is through a closed tank bioreactor plants. This kind of method is done through a controlled environment to help increase the propagation of algae’s. In this method algae’s grow rapidly so that it can be harvested and processed every day. All this method can be strategically be placed near plants that produces excessive amounts of carbon dioxide so that it can clean away the potential hazards of carbon dioxide in the environment by using it to cultivate algae’s. The only downside of this research is that there hasn’t been any actual test done on an actual car or engine. Right now it is still in the testing stage and research. As of now there are little or no actual data that says what is the output of the car that is run on biofuel from algae. Scientist and biologist agree that this technology needs further studies on the engineering side and the biological side. Whatever the outcome is the possibility of algae as a source of alternative fuel are highly feasible. |
