A comparison of bio-crude oil production from five marine microalgae – Using life cycle analysis
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Marine microalgae biomass could offer a viable feedstock for sustainably producing biofuel by hydrothermal liquefaction. In this study, five promising marine microalgae (i.e., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Synechococcus, ... -
Effect of harvesting methods on the energy requirement of Tetraselmis sp. biomass production and biocrude yield and quality
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)A halo-tolerant Tetraselmis sp. was grown in a 100,000 L raceway pond in the Qatari desert environment. As the biomass density reached 0.679 g/L, after 7 days, five different harvesting methods (i.e., cross-flow filtration, ... -
Energy recovery and nutrients recycling from municipal sewage sludge
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) could be a promising and better alternative to other techniques for energy recovery from municipal sewage sludge (MSS). However, the nutrients (i.e., N, and P) recovery potential from the ... -
Pretreatment of cyanobacterial Chroococcidiopsis. biomass prior to hydrothermal liquefaction for enhanced hydrocarbon yield and energy recovery
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Chroococcidiopsis sp. was grown in 200 L open raceway pond. Biomass density and average biomass productivity were 0.41 g/L and 16.1 g/m2/d. Chroococcidiopsis biomass was harvested by self-settling. Self settled biomass was ... -
Production of phycocyanin from marine cyanobacteria in Open raceway pond
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Phycocyanin is one of the major light harvesting accessory pigment present in microalgae and cyanobacteria. This water-soluble pigment protein exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. Application ... -
A study to investigate the energy recovery potential from different macromolecules of a low-lipid marine Tetraselmis sp. biomass through HTL process
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This study investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of extracted major macromolecules from Tetraselmis sp. biomass. The carbohydrate fraction was first recovered from Tetraselmis biomass using pressurized heated ...
