 Each report cost me at least $30 to $60. Solar Energy Institute in 
Golden 
 CO. published a neat small report in 1985 called Fuel options from 
 Microalgae dated July 1984. If you get into this you will need to 
buy quite 
 a few chemicals, some common like Epsom Salt, baking soda and some 
pretty 
 exotic. If you want to  look at houses for your critters search 
on the net 
 for photobioreactor . Tried this once and failed. Also wife and 
daughters 
 saw no humor in growing pond scum in the house. May try this one 
day when 
 I get some space out of the house but am more interested in 
finding cheap 
 sources of oil seeds.  Hope this helps. Good luck.

hm.
very strange, totally unexpected. but the matter seems to have 
settled itself... literally,, the soy finally stratified...-looks 
like good separation.. took a lot longer though ..this was new soy 
oil. anyone have experience with lecithin? will it turn to biodiesel?
 thanks for your input...

  but
Ill ask another one anyway and maybe someone will answer it.
Im assuming that when the unwashed biodiesel stratifies, that
  pretty
much all the Glycerine-methanol and soap has settled beneath 
the
biodiesel and that can be decanted.
 The washing process  to meet astm seems to take up a long

it feasable to distill the water-methanol mix out of the

[biofuel] Re: oil from algae...

2004-05-06 Thread Marc Orion Cardoso
never heard any more about it. Another list member researched 
 the
subject, he had good technical resources, and concluded that 
 it's a
waste of time right now, it just isn't there yet, at least 
not 
 at a
doable small-scale level.
   
Marc Carduso of Ecogenics has posted several upbeat messages 
on 
 the
subject in the last few weeks. He's talked of Algae 
production 
 for
food fuel and fertiliser, algaeculture technology for oil
production and algae based  Living fuel cell technology, 
and
referred list members to his website for further information.
www.dabney.com/ecogenics/
   
I didn't find much information there, maybe I should have 
looked
harder. I saw some photographs that looked to me like water
  hyacinth
and duckweed, nice for greywater/blackwater treatment 
systems. I
guess there's something I'm missing. I'm not being sceptical, 
 just
need more info I think. What's not clear to me is whether 
Marc 
 has
actually succeeded in producing lipids from algae in usable 
form
  and
quantity. When last we heard Marc hadn't made any biodiesel 
yet 
 but
would be doing so soon. I don't know if Marc has made yet 
 biodiesel
from algae lipids. Can you tell us a bit more Marc?
   
Meanwhile, personally I take your view Lowell, cheap sources 
of 
 oil
seeds are more interesting. There's huge and very largely
  unexplored
potential in oil-bearing plants, as well as in productive and
efficient ways of producing them. For instance, a quick 
search 
 of
James Duke's Handbook of Energy Crops finds 62 legumes, both 
 plants
and trees, either of which can be fitted to the cropping and
  growing
patterns on integrated sutainable farms in a variety of ways,
  perhaps
as cover crops, interplanted or undersown, for forage or green
manure, earning their keep independently of their oil 
potential,
which would come as a bonus produced without the dedicated 
use 
 of
  of
any land, or time and labour. Trees can be even more 
 interesting.
That's just some of the legumes.

  Hello All,
I asked some questions in my last post but didnt get any answers
 but
   Ill ask another one anyway and maybe someone will answer it.
   Im assuming that when the unwashed biodiesel stratifies, that
 pretty
   much all the Glycerine-methanol and soap has settled beneath the
   biodiesel and that can be decanted.
The washing process  to meet astm seems to take up a long
 time .. Is
   it feasable to distill the water-methanol mix out of the biodiesel
   rather than wait for it to separate and stratify?? or will trace
   elements of soap screw things up..?...any thoughts on this???

Dear Kieth and lowell.
 
  We have been growing algae of various types for a good
 number of
 years starting with Spirulina as a food and then venturing
 into
 algaes suitable for lipid production.. First we had to learn
 to
grow
 algae and came to the level of designing a closed loop system
   that
 would allow the production of algaes under a broad range of
climatic
 and geographic  conditions in that, we succeeded... we
 have
been
 growing dunaliela and butyrococcus with success in our
 research
pond
 here at ecogenics center.. although we have been  producing
   ethanol
 and methane for many many years and were well aware of the
potential
 of algae for the production of lipids (oils) for biodiesel.
 we
   had
 not, untill very recently ,actually produced biodiesel.. we
   have
now
 reached that goal with a fair amount of consistancy and are
 now
 prepared to enter a  new phase in our development program...
 that
 is.. the extraction of oil from our algaes and the consequent
 production of biodiesel from the resulting oils. we are soon
 embarking on a program of study involving extraction
 techniques
   and
 after that will undertake the necessary steps to make
 biodiesel
from
 those oils.We are taking very cautious baby steps towards
 that
 goal.financial

[biofuel] Re: oil from algae...

2004-05-04 Thread Keith Addison

Hi Lowell

A lot of lit on this subject during 1980s. Search on NTIS which is U.S.
gov repository for gov funded research. The critters you want info on are
called Microalgae not algae and they produce Lipids which you and I call
oil. If you want info about getting the oil out of the microalgae search
on the net for Lipid Extraction. Most of NTIS research on this is under
program called Aquatic Species Program. Try to get 1987 and 1985 reports.
Each report cost me at least $30 to $60. Solar Energy Institute in Golden
CO. published a neat small report in 1985 called Fuel options from
Microalgae dated July 1984. If you get into this you will need to buy quite
a few chemicals, some common like Epsom Salt, baking soda and some pretty
exotic. If you want to look at houses for your critters search on the net
for photobioreactor . Tried this once and failed. Also wife and daughters
saw no humor in growing pond scum in the house. May try this one day when
I get some space out of the house but am more interested in finding cheap
sources of oil seeds. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You're not the first to reach that conclusion. Previously a list 
member set up ponds and so on and was going ahead full-steam but we 
never heard any more about it. Another list member researched the 
subject, he had good technical resources, and concluded that it's a 
waste of time right now, it just isn't there yet, at least not at a 
doable small-scale level.

Marc Carduso of Ecogenics has posted several upbeat messages on the 
subject in the last few weeks. He's talked of Algae production for 
food fuel and fertiliser, algaeculture technology for oil 
production and algae based  Living fuel cell technology, and 
referred list members to his website for further information. 
www.dabney.com/ecogenics/

I didn't find much information there, maybe I should have looked 
harder. I saw some photographs that looked to me like water hyacinth 
and duckweed, nice for greywater/blackwater treatment systems. I 
guess there's something I'm missing. I'm not being sceptical, just 
need more info I think. What's not clear to me is whether Marc has 
actually succeeded in producing lipids from algae in usable form and 
quantity. When last we heard Marc hadn't made any biodiesel yet but 
would be doing so soon. I don't know if Marc has made yet biodiesel 
from algae lipids. Can you tell us a bit more Marc?

Meanwhile, personally I take your view Lowell, cheap sources of oil 
seeds are more interesting. There's huge and very largely unexplored 
potential in oil-bearing plants, as well as in productive and 
efficient ways of producing them. For instance, a quick search of 
James Duke's Handbook of Energy Crops finds 62 legumes, both plants 
and trees, either of which can be fitted to the cropping and growing 
patterns on integrated sutainable farms in a variety of ways, perhaps 
as cover crops, interplanted or undersown, for forage or green 
manure, earning their keep independently of their oil potential, 
which would come as a bonus produced without the dedicated use of of 
any land, or time and labour. Trees can be even more interesting. 
That's just some of the legumes.

  dear Dr. Jaya,
   we build our own laboratory equipment except of course, for 
digital temp  measurement instrumentation (Cole Parmer). we use  
regular cool white flourescents for illumination.ph paper ,analog 
thermometers to back up the digitals.we do very little bench scale 
work the conditions found in a laboratory  usually dont prove out 
in the field ...at least that is my experience..we do have a very 
nice laboratory with all kinds of pretty glasswork and lexan tanks 
for  growing  shrimp larvae
but most of our algae work is done int he closed loop ecosystem and 
in two 15 ft. dia above ground pools.  you might want to look up COLE 
PARMER  for biotech equipment, SHOTT and KIMBLE for 
glassware..Fischer is also a good source for supplies and equipment.
 hope this helps.

Re: [biofuel] Re: oil from algae...

2004-04-20 Thread jprada chunduri

Hello everybody,
I am Dr.Jaya. My post doc project work is based on finding out local strains of 
algae -  as a source of bio fuel.  I require help to get price quotations for 
the euipment such as luminometer, Fermenter,Lumination chamber for culturing 
microalgae. I will be greatly obliged if you can give  me information in this 
regard.
Thanking you,
jaya
