  • 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...

  • Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

    Creator:
    Kirby, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...
