Microalgae are considered a promising feedstock for biorefineries given that their chemical
composition–rich in carbohydrate and lipid-can be directed towards the co-production of …

Algae are mainly composed of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Microalgae
can be converted into liquid and gaseous products by direct liquefaction, pyrolysis, and …

Extremum-seeking optimization of the anaerobic digestion processes is often cited in
literature. Its achievement implies the use of an external dither signal, either deterministic or …

In this study, the parameters of a dynamic model of cultures of the microalgae Scenedesmus
obliquus are estimated from datasets collected in batch photobioreactors operated with …

The paper presents a mathematical model of a continuous-flow bioreactor in which
cultivation of Pseudochlorococcum sp. algae proceeds. The process is directed on synthesis …

The paper deals with the optimization of an anaerobic digester with respect to a
performance criterion which targets the maximization of the methane production. It is …

Featured Application The production of algal biomass or of a product associated with
biomass growth can be optimized by manipulating the dilution rate and the incident light …

A photobioreactor (PBR) contains microalgae which under illumination consume carbon
dioxide and substrate dissolved in water, and produce oxygen. The process is used in water …

The paper deals with the fuzzy control of a photoautotrophic microalgae growth process in
photobioreactors. The non-linear mathematical model of the process is presented and a …

Microalgae production in raceway photobioreactors is a very attractive process for biomass
production because of its high sustainability. This paper presents a complete methodology …
