The Team Steve Pohler Eric Michel Nate Gifford Mark Dekker Caleb Mutschler
Summary • Objectives • Scoping • Project Status • Process Flow Diagrams • Obstacles • Questions
Primary Objectives • Develop processes to produce biodiesel from algae • Determine most feasible process • Optimize process • Scale to industrial size
Secondary Objectives • Design a photobioreactor to propagate algae • Use algae for CO2 sequestration • Prototype PBR
Scoping • Determine kinetics and product compositions • Conversion of biomass via transesterification • Separation and purification
Project Status • Setbacks in laboratory experiments • Development of preliminary PFD’s • UNISIM
Obstacles Overcome • UNISIM Hypotheticals
Current Obstacles • Define Catalyst • Decide on Separation Procedure • Determine Feasibility of Process Steps
