Video of a Algae Bioreactor
Algae Bio reactors could be one of the best sources of algae for making bio diesel. They provide a supper accelerated growth region and in large plants, factories etc they could be deployed with ease.
An algae photobioreactor on the roof of MIT university.The clear polycarbonate tubes are approx 3 meters high, and 10-20 centimeters in diameter.It removes up to 86% of the NOx and 40% of the CO2 of the smokestack emissions that are bubbled through it. The algae are feeding on exhaust with 13% CO2 content. This size algae photobioreactor can't handle the entire exhaust emissions, it would need to be much larger for that.This photobioreactor you see here on the roof of MIT, has since been dismantled and reassembled in Naboomspruit (now called Mookgopong) South Africa at a biodiesel plant.
Another news:-(http://www.csrwire.com/News/8500.html)
GSPI demonstration facility is located in Montana and is one of the largest demonstration facilities in the world.Phase I objective in this project is to determine the ability of the GSPI Algae Process System to solve the daunting operational problems for microalgae production, which have plagued the algae production industry for years.Phase I now is complete and has been successful in controlling the most important variables in algae production, i.e. temperature of water in large systems, salinity
So at last algae is making moves in the bio diesel front
