The project demonstrated a technology called a microbial fuel cell (MFC) where the organic content is converted into bio-gas. The UK produces over 100 million tonnes of organic material per year that could be used to produce bio-gas. Potential markets exist in agriculture, food & drink and industries producing high organic content waste.

46. Methodology Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) utilise an anode and cathode where the anode harbours a microbial culture that reduces the organic content by up to 70% without aeration. OUT ANODE CATHODE IN Bacteria CO2 H2 e-e- e-e- CO2 H2 H+H+

65. Suprafilt ’Steel plant CO 2 sequestration using high efficiency micro-algal bioreactor’ Professor Will Zimmerman (Sheffield University) Consortium Members Suprafilt Tata Steel University of Sheffield (spinout Perlemax)

66. The Challenge & Market Aims -To investigate the feasibility of growing microalgae using CO 2 rich steel plant exhaust gas -To investigate the performance of an airlift loop bioreactor (ALB) with microbubble technology Potential markets Carbon capture in biomass (worst case: fertilizers!) Integrated waste management Nutraceuticals (food additives) Fish and animal feed Bioplastics and other organic / fine chemical co-products Biofuels

67. Methodology Challenges in Algal Cultivation Carbon dioxide supply Oxygen removal Light limitation Mixing Contamination This photobioreactor is designed to facilitate high algal growth within a short period of time by improving its transport processers. For best possible carbon capture and biofuel production, high biomass concentrations are preferred. Key design features CO 2 dissolution and O 2 stripping is substantially improved by microbubbels. Air lift loop design promotes vertical mixing of algae – keeps all algae suspended in the reactor while bringing them to lighted surfaces regularly. Designed as a closed system to avoid contamination. Airlift loop effect Volume = 2m 3 ( 1.5m X 1.3m X 1m )

68. Methodology II: Microbubble Technology The key device for microbubble generation is a fluidic oscillator (FO), that has no moving parts. It does not require external energy input for operation. FO limits the growth of bubbles produced by percolation by restricting the growth time to one half of the oscillation period. Smaller bubbles have a much larger surface area compared to larger bubbles that has the same volume; hence improve mass transfer rates. FOs are designed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry. (a) dia. approx. 5-10 mm(b) dia. approx 80 - 100 µm(c) dia. approx. 20 - 30 µm Bubbles produced (a)Without FO (b)With FO (c)With FO and optimized conditions

69. Key Findings/results Two trials were carried out with Dunaliella salina using power plant exhaust gas as the carbon source. Second trial was run for three weeks with improved operating conditions compared to the first trial, which was only run for two weeks. Inlet and outlet CO 2 and O 2 concentrations were measured by FTIR. The difference between red curves shows CO 2 uptake while the difference between blue curves shows O 2 stripping rate. Supra-exponential growth

70. Next Steps Installing microbubble generators in algal bioreactor company’s pilot plants and other types of bioreactors. Catalyzing the next generation pilot plant to produce co- products and biofuels by assembling leading edge unit operations such as artificial lighting (AAT), dewatering (UoS), ultrasonic milking (NPL), microwave pyrolysis (York) and esterification intensification (CSL). When could it become commercially viable? Biofuels still need a large cost reduction. Nutraceuticals? NOW Why should people invest? SUSTAINABLE Development!
