Algae bioreactor system: Overview

In the near future flue gas emissions will cost the manufacturing and process industries millions of dollars each year in mitigation expenses, while negatively impacting on corporate profits, corporate image and the environment.

The GreenFuels technology solves these problems by removing CO2 from flue gases and converting it to an on-site, continuous supply of biofuels, such as biodiesel, ethanol or methane. The emissions-to-biofuelsTM carbon conversion process uses safe, non toxic, naturally occurring algae to reduce inlet CO2 by as much as 40% and substantially reduces remaining NOx.

The ‘clean-air biofuel’ produced can be used as an alternative fuel on site, providing protection from volatile gas, oil and coal prices. The fuel can also be sold at premium prices in the rapidly growing green energy markets.

The algae bioreactor absorbs exhaust gases and uses sunlight for algae culture, enabling controlled photosynthesis to grow seed in amounts suitable to produce a larger algae feedstock. The algae taken from the reactor is placed into waste water ponds to produce quantities to supply a feedstock of crude vegetable oil and hydrogen. The algae are optimally exposed to sunlight through the method of photo modulation.

On sunny days 82.3% of CO2 is removed, 50.1% when cloudy. 85.9% of NOx is removed regardless of weather conditions. The bioreactors are suitable for use in the vast majority of geographical locations world wide.
