Development And Validation Of A Near Infrared Specular Reflectance Flow Cell For Online Monitoring Of Microalgal Cultures
DownloadSpring 2016
Humankind is living in a world of rapid changes. Facts and situations that today seem to be permanent may be history tomorrow. Accordingly, in the future, energy sources maybe different, new, and more sustainable. Oil derived from microalgae is one of those promising options. Microalgae have been...

Fall 2014
Microalgae grow heterotrophically and produce high value pigments, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, feeds, and biofuels. The growth rate, nutrient medium, growth density, and oil content strongly affect the economics of heterotrophic microalgae fermentation systems. This thesis explores the...

Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Spring 2012
Microalgae are a promising source of biofuels and other valuable chemicals. The low cell density and slow growth rate that have traditionally characterized microalgal cultures, however, have resulted in a reduced economical feasibility. To develop a sustainable microalgal process it is required...
