While we're on an aesthetic note, the pumping brass is distracting while trying to concentrate on narration about pumping algae.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like the centrifuge is used to separate algae from water, not oil from algae. And that's just for the algae that's to be dried and used as a food supplement. All she says about their biofuel process is that it's different and doesn't use centrifuges.<BR/><BR/>What's most interesting to me is the claim that Seambiotic's process accelerates the algae growth rate by a factor of ten. I suspect that gain is partially attributable to other factors (processing, genetics, etc.) and not solely due to the CO2 infusion. But the faster growth rate is a necessary condition for economic justification of CO2 infusion.<BR/><BR/>Based on this limited information, it does seem to me that this method has more economic promise than Greenfuels' does, but we'll have to wait and see. <BR/><BR/>I hope the emission gases are scrubbed well. Mercury wouldn't make an appealing food supplement.Glenn Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417056085017691259noreply@blogger.com
