INL will purchase an Algae Appliance Model 4 that concentrates up to four liters of algae production per minute and a Solids Out of Solution Model 2K, capable of handling first-stage cleanup of up to 2,000 gallons of frac flowback water per day.
Commenting on the purchase INL molecular biologist Deborah T. Newby said that the lab is keen to test OriginOil’s new equipment in our algal dewatering research.
"The system appears to have the potential to significantly reduce the algal dewatering barrier, allowing us to dewater large quantities of algae for use in applications, including the production of formulated feedstocks blended from algal and terrestrial biomass," added Newby.
