  1. 1. Gene overexpression screens to identify limitations on the productivity of cyanobacteria growth

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Tobias Willi; [2020]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; Dub-sequencing; competitive growth; overexpression library; Synechocystis 6803; Synechococcus 7002; Synechococcus UTEX 2973; Photobioreactor; Conjugation; mobA;

    Abstract : Cyanobacteria are a model organism for photosynthesis and the Calvin cycle, and a promising chassis for 4th generation biofuel production. There are many ongoing efforts to improve the performance of cyanobacteria, in terms of CO2 fixation and production rate of biofuels. READ MORE

  3. 2. Production and harvesting of volatile jet fuel precursors from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Johan Sjölander; [2019]
    Keywords : Jet fuel; isoprene; isobutene; cyanobacteria; solar fuel; photobioreactor; photosynthesis;

    Abstract : The world is currently faced with the enormous challenge of slowing down human triggered global warming. As the global energy demand increases, there is an urgent need for renewable and carbon-neutral fuel-sources. READ MORE

  4. 3. Techno-Economic Feasibility Study for the Production of Microalgae Based Plant Biostimulant

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Laurent Arnau; [2016]
    Keywords : Biomass; sustainability; photobioreactor; flocculation; centrifugation; sterilization;

    Abstract : Microalgae are considered as a potential feedstock for many promising applications. Some active substances in microalgae have plant biostimulation effects potentially useful in agriculture. However, to produce such a microalgal biomass, specific microalgae cultivation and post-treatment processes must be designed to preserve active substances. READ MORE

  5. 4. THEORETICAL STUDY TO IMPROVE THE ENERGY BALANCE IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT : Investigation of microalgae photobioreactor in biological treatment step and open algal pond in reject water treatment in Uppsala and Västerås

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Richard Marcin; Matej Mucha; [2015]
    Keywords : Energy balance; Wastewater treatment plant; Microalgae; Photobioreactor; Open algal pond;

    Abstract : The self-treatment system of nature cannot handle man-caused high rate water pollution on its own, therefore cleaning in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is necessary to avoid eutrophication – excessive enrichment of nature by nutrients. Current technologies applied in WWTPs are old, outdating and highly energy demanding, especially biological treatment step generally requires large amount of energy for aeration of water. READ MORE

  6. 5. Economic analysis of energy and matter generation from microalgae : an environmental LCC model for hydrogen and biogas production from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Markus Meyer; [2012]
    Keywords : environmental life cycle costing; LCC; microalgae; photobireactor; PBR; hydrogen; biogas; Chlamydomonas reinhardtii;

    Abstract : Environmental life cycle costing has been applied to determine the economic viability of exclusive biogas production and coupled hydrogen and biogas production from microalgae in a photobioreactor (PBR). Exclusive biogas production consists of the production steps photoautotrophic biomass production and anaerobic digestion. READ MORE
