Growth Media and Lipid Determination Comparison of High Rate Algae Ponds
… and Lipid Determination Comparison</p> <p>of High Rate Algae Ponds</p> <p>Eric Alexander Nicolai</p> <p>The feasibility of algal biofuel production relies on the use of a non-potable water source. Municipal wastewater is nutrient-rich and a cost effective option as a growth media in algae …

Water and Nutrient Recycling in High Rate Algae Ponds Fed in Primary Treated Municipal Wastewater
… is a key step to increase the sustainability of algae biofuel production facilities. This thesis discusses the process of nutrient and water recycling in high rate algae raceway ponds (HRAP) fed primary treated municipal wastewater. Research was conducted primarily at the San Luis Obispo Water …

Bioflocculation of Wastewater Treatment Pond Suspended Solids
… <p>Wastewater treatment lagoons and high rate algae ponds (HRAPs) can provide cost effective wastewater treatment, but they commonly have high effluent concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS). In this thesis algae pond effluent was treated in a beaker testing apparatus (mixed …

Improved Microalgal Biomass Harvesting Using Optimized Environmental Conditions and Bacterial Bioflocculants
… <p>The cost and energy balance of microalgae biofuel production is sensitive to the algae harvesting method, among many other factors. Bioflocculation and settling of suspended microalgae cultures is a harvesting method with potentially low cost and energy input. However, bioflocculation …

Zooplankton Dynamics in Wastewater Treatment High Rate Algal Ponds and development of effective control methods
High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) are effective and economical open pond to provide near tertiary-level wastewater (WW) treatment, with the nutrients recovered as algal biomass. However, WW treatment performance can be reduced by the establishment of zooplankton grazers which can consume much of the …
