  • Downstream processing of microalgal biomass for biofuels

    Creator:
    Sander, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    This thesis documents the work carried out investigating the downstream processing of algal biomass for biofuel production. A life cycle assessment was conducted on a hypothetical algal biodiesel process in which it was found drum drying and cell component separation were life cycle intensive processes. A laboratory experiment was conducted...

  • Model Predictive Control for Optimum Algal Growth

    Creator:
    Juneja, Ankita
    Abstract:
    Microalgae has been under careful consideration as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuel recently due to its year round production with high energy yields per unit area, reduced need for arable land, water treatment benefits with nutrient cycling, and minimal competition with the food industry. Despite of all these advantages,...

  • Evaluation of feedstocks for cellulosic ethanol and bioproducts production in the Northwest

    Creator:
    Miller, Wesley C. (Wesley Clair)
    Abstract:
    Cellulosic ethanol production for transportation fuel is one source to help satisfy the increasing worldwide demand for energy and depletion of the fossil fuel supply. Evaluating potential production from plants and waste in Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the purpose of this study. Reed Canary grass, Annual Ryegrass, wheat straw,...

  • Science and efficacy of mild sodium hydroxide treatments in enzyme-based wheat straw-to-glucose processing

    Creator:
    Sophonputtanaphoca, Supaporn
    Abstract:
    The work described in this dissertation focused on chemistry related to the use of aqueous sodium hydroxide as a treatment in the processing of wheat straw. A major emphasis was the comprehensive evaluation of straw component partitioning due to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) processing. This was evaluated over a range of...
