Designing a Cost Effective Microalgae Harvesting Strategy for Biodiesel Production with Electrocoagulation and Dissolved Air Flotation

Microalgal harvesting strategies for biodiesel production have been a major setback in the industry with high energy estimates of $3400/ton biomass by centrifugation. The present study utilized effective mass and energy balances to reduce these large operating costs. The energy for Stage 1 centrifug...
