Mass Production of Microalgae Using Waste Water as Supplement and Extraction of Bio Oil by Transesterification

Abstract

Developments in the Biofuel production has created more awareness in Research due to the rapid increase in oil price and growing environmental issues. Microalgae have gathered attention towards them in the Biofuel production. Transesterification process converts algal oil or lipids to fatty acids. Because of their high Biomass and Lipid accumulation, the microalgae suited for the production of bio oil in industrial level. The lipid content was 28.22±1.38%, carbohydrate 16.8% and protein 58.2% for Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The amount of oil extracted was found to be 25.8 ml for (Alternate Media) AM1 and 20.6 ml for AM2. The pH was found to be 7.8 for AM1 and 7.6 for AM2. In this study, scaling up of Chlorella pyrenoidosa in poultry waste water was done with fertilizers and analysingparameters for its growth and production of Bio oil from Chlorella pyrenoidosa has been examined from the scaling up in poultry waste water
