1 Large Scale Production of Microalgae for Biofuels Dr. Bryan Willson Chief Technology Officer International Symposium on Algal Fuel Research Tsukuba, Japan July 27, Solix Biofuels. All Right Reserved.
2 3 Main Points Solix is a leading developer of closed photobioreactor-based production systems for algae-based biofuels Solix s cost trajectory shows that fuel production from algae can be cost-competitive titi with petroleum but requires full value extraction from the production co-products Solix has now begun operation of the world s largest closed photobioreactor for biofuel production Solix Biofuels.

42 Fuel Properties - General 42
43 Fuel Properties - General Algal oil is unique in that it tends to contain a significant quantity (~5-20% by volume) of long highly unsaturated oils, which are rarely observed in more traditional biodiesel feedstocks, such as soy and rapeseed (canola) oil. The two most common types of long and highly unsaturated oils found in algae oil tested to date are eicosapentaeonic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). 43
44 Feedstock Composition Fatty acid content varies widely depending on the feedstock. The chemical composition i has implications i in terms of combustion characteristics. i Saturated Acids Mono Unsaturated Total Poly Unsaturated Acids Acids 10:0 12:0 14:0 16:0 18:0 >18:0 16:1 18:1 22:1 n:2 n:3 n:4-6 Coconut Palm Rapeseed Soybean Nannochlorop sis Oculata Nannochlorop sis sp. methyl dodecanoate (coconut) methyl linoleate (soy) eicosapentaeonic acid methyl ester (algae)
