Dr. TSANG Yiu Fai - Cultivation of Microalgae for Feed Supplement/ Biofuel Production and Carbon Dioxide Fixation
Chief Investigator:

Dr. TSANG Yiu Fai


Project Year:

2014-2016


Description:

The project aims to develop and optimize a microalgae cultivation system which is intended for production of feed supplement and biofuels. The system would also be beneficial to fixation of carbon dioxide and mitigation of global climate change. The lab-scale microalgae cultivation system includes a biomass production optimizer (i.e. open-pond or closed photo-bioreactor) and a cost-effective biomass harvesting device.
