Development, optimization and comparison of technological bricks defining an industrial process of microalgae exploitation, development of suitable photobioreactor systems, harvesting and post-harvest processing.- association on the same location of technological bricks to define an integrated production process, involving overall process design,- study of the industrial integration (eco-industry concept), accounting for production on industrial gaseous effluents (CO2 collecting and biofixation), ...

Biomass harvesting deals with different technologies bought from manufacturers for biomass harvesting. The choice results from the preliminary technical study aiming at identifying relevant technologies for microalgae harvesting.As a reference, centrifuges are planned for the harvesting of the extensive production systems (10-20m3/j). They are completed with other state-of-the art or more innovative technologies with lower energy consumption.Biomass refinery and oil recovery mainly concerns ...
