California algae research project utilizes powerful harvesting technology

In California, an algae research project conducted by the University of California and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography has utilized a harvest system which processes up to 9000 gallons of algae-laden water per minute at a 95% capture rate, yielding up to 20% algae concentrations. The project utilizes World Water Works’ Algae Harvesting Technology Optimized dissolved air flotation system to harvest the algae from water. The joint collaboration has existed since 2008, and has been focusing on converting the dry biomass to fuel; they had previously experimented with several harvesting methods that were unsuccessful.
