Microlagal Biorefineries: scaling, deployment and efficiency improvements

摘要：

Extracting value from microalgal based biorefineries allows sustainable growth and carbon capture sequestration and utilization, whilst delivering protein, carbohydrates, lipids and high value products that can feed into animal and fish feed, human nutrition, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, as well as materials such as bioplastics. Commercialisation is hindered by scaling problems which results in complex exploitation pathways, particularly for lower value commodity products. Work at the University of Glasgow will be described that has investigated growth optimisation, lysing mechanisms, separation and downstream processing, with current work seeking to address scaling and deployment problems. Experiences learned from sensor development, control, AI and ML from thermochemical processes and microalgal systems are being translated into microalgal based biorefineries.
