o Presentation Goal. o What’s Algae And

Biodiesel. o Why Algae.

Mohammed Najat

Presentation Goal Primary Goal: prospecting For An Algae Suitable As A

Biodiesel FeedstockSecondary Goals: Efficient Production Of The Algae Efficient Harvesting Efficient Oil Extraction

Algae: Is Photosynthetic Organisms, Ranging In Size From Single-celled Forms To The Giant Kelps.

Biodiesel: Is Made Up Of Monoalkyl Esters Of Long Chain Fatty Acid That Come From Vegetable Oil.

Why Algae Capable Of Efficiently Using Solar

Energy And CO2 To Create Biomass. High Percent Of Total Biomass Is

Oil. Recent Studies Have Demonstrated

That The Algae Has Been Widely Regarded As One Of The Most Promising Raw Material Of Biodiesel.

o What We Can Product From Algae.

o Algae Oil Extraction.

o Advantages Of Biodiesel From Algae.

What We Can Product From Algae

AlgaeMethane

Hydrogen

Biodiesel

Ethanol

Algae Oil Extraction Use Hexane Solvents To Remove The Oil. Hexane Is A Neurotoxin. Must Be Careful When Using. Removes Oil Out Of Almost All Things.

Advantages Of Biodiesel From Algae Algae Biofuel No Contains Sulphur Algae Biofuel Is Non-toxic Algae Biofuel Is Highly Bio-degradable Rapid Growth Rates

Technology Method To Growth Algae And Produce Biodiesel :

1- Technology – Open Bonds. 2- Technology – Green House. 3- Technology – Bioreactor. Mohammed Shorsh

Technology method to growth algae and produce biodiesel

1- Open bonds : o Open Bond Are Most Widely Used System

For Large Scale Out Door Algae Cultivation.o Commercially Economical. o Easy To Built And Operate.

2- Technology-green House : Small Scale. Greater Temperature Control. Need Access To Local Processing Facility.

3- Technology _ Bioreactor :

o Biodiesel Production Steps

o Biodiesel In Future

o Conclusion

Biodiesel Production Steps

Harvesting Of Algae

Extraction Of Oil From Algae

Transesterification

Biodiesel

Cultivation Of Algae Species

Biodiesel In Future Biodiesel Has Become More Attractive

Recently Because Of It’s Environmental Benefits And The Fact That It Is Made From Renewable Resources.

Conclusion Algae Biofuel’s Natural Advantages Look

To Make It One Of The Foremost Players In The Clean Energy Market.

Algae Biofuel Production Holds Future Promise For Developing Countries :

- More Jobs.- Energy Independence.
