Techno-economic and environmental assessment of conceptually designed in situ lipid extraction process from microalgae
Abstract
An in situ lipid extraction process from two microalgae strains, Chlorella vulgaris and Botryococcous braunii, was conceptually designed and simulated in Aspen Plus. The techno-economic and a “pond-to-pump” life cycle carbon emission analysis were then conducted in an optimization framework consisting of two decision variables, volumetric fraction (VF) and lipid percentages (LP) of the organic phase in the extraction column. The VF …
