Seyed M. Allameh, Sharon Sarowa, Miriam Steinitz‐Kannan

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary results of a research and developmental work on biodiesel production. An algae-based biofuel extraction system was developed for household applications. It consists of three modules: algae growth media preparation, biofuel-bearing algae growth chamber, and biodiesel extraction system. The details of the design and fabrication of these systems will be discussed. Further, the results of experiments on the selection of algae specimens and the influence of environmental variables on the growth process will be elucidated.
