ent high rate algal ponds

Biomass recycling had a positive effect on the harvesting efficiency enhancing

the biomass recovery in the R-HRAP to 92-94% (vs. 75-89% in the C-HRAP). M
oreover, recycling increased to 95% the amount of biomass with high settling
velocities (>1.6 m/h). The green microalgae Chlorella sp. was the dominant sp
ecies (>60% abundance) overall the experimental period in the RHRAP and C-
HRAP systems. The highest recycling rate (10%) decreased the dominance of C
hlorella sp. by increasing diatoms (7.4% on average in the R-HRAP) and Stigeo
clonium sp. (16.8% on average, only present in the R-HRAP). Biomass producti
on varied within the range of 3.3-25.8 g TSS/m2d in the R-HRAP and 5.5-25.7
g TSS/m2d in the C-HRAP. Thus, microalgal biomass production was not affect
ed by recycling. Average COD and N-NH4+ removals of 80% and 97% were ac
hieved in both HRAPs for secondary treatment of wastewater. However, the hi
gher biomass recovery in the R-HRAP reduced TSS effluent concentration to le
ss than 35 mg/L, generating an effluent suitable for water discharge.

biomass

Biomass and the effect of CO2 addition on this potential are investigated in
outdoor experiments using WWT HRAPs. Average monthly HRAP biomass a
nd lipid productivity varied between 2.0-11.3 g VSS/m2/d, and between 0.5-
2.6 g/m2/d, respectively. Only <15% by weight of the ash-free biomass can
be converted to raw biodiesel (desired mixture (<30% by weight) and unwa
nted (>70% by weight) FAME) which corresponds to the potential for crude
biodiesel production of 0.9%. ± 0.1 g / m2 / d. Addition of CO2 does not af
fect the biomass content and lipid profile but increases the potential of pro
ducing raw biodiesel by increasing biomass productivity.
