Hi Tim
Friends
I found the thread on algae base fuels interesting.
It only discusses oil from algae and biodiesel from algae.
Hm, Simon didn't reply. Funny that, how they never reply. :-)

Hi Erik
From another list I'm on:

They actually made a little bit of biodiesel from algae, and they're
not a professional lab, but they did say that they had to have a full
time lab do some centrifuge work for them.
Keith,
I tried some experiment with algae:
I had algae in a plastic container with some naoh and
cow dung (for methane) and applied some pressure
through cycle pump and applied some ultrasonic
vibrations to the plastic container ( tried all
combination by reading net). I have tried couple of

Thankyou. Not the first we hear of Aquaflow.

Kieth,
I understand what you are saying, but if the process can be industrialised
use waste CO2 from power plants, it would be worthwhile: even tho it might
not scale down.

Just couldn't resist my 2 cents worth here:
The biodiesel plant I work for in the Midwest is investigating using algae
as a feedstock. I'm not in the loop as far as details, but find it just
fascinating and wonder if they're even thinking about going to go all the
way and 'produce' it as well.
Thanks James Keith,
I remembered the discussion on the list a while ago, had found similar
links to the ones James gave me. I was also aware that SVO was an option ( a
friend runs a SVO/diesel mix in Ireland in a Rover.
I was interested in any info on an Australian development of the

Well that would be a first. It needs a little more detail please
James, or a lot more detail. Considering that by all accounts there
is no such thing as biodiesel from algae apart from
to have the biodiesel meet the EN norm and other
standards. Jan Warnqvist - Original Message - From: doug
