Conventional oil extraction from microalgae typically results in low value yield waste streams. Industrial applications requires a specific protein value within its algal waste stream in order for extraction to remain profitable. Our team will design a specific extraction and purification process, along with necessary equipment, to isolate proteins from algal waste for future high value applications.
Our Goal:
Design and develop a downstream bioprocess, with scale up capabilities, for DSM to implement to extract high value proteins from a micro-algal waste steam to increase process profitability by May 2022.
Our Objectives:
