Monitoring and control of microalgae cultures
Monitoring and control of microalgae production systems at large-scale is still a challenge because of the complex nature of the process. This project... -
Scaling up mixotrophic cultivation of extremophilic microalgae
Oxygen-balanced mixotrophy has the potential to circumvent the limitations of current cultivation systems by improving cell densities, productivities... -
Drain water purification through microalgae
Microalgae cultivation can be elegantly integrated in horticulture practice as a treatment method for discharged drain water. The drain water... -
Microalgal-bacteria communities for municipal wastewater treatment
The need for wastewater treatment systems to become more sustainable and recover nutrients rather than just removing them is becoming increasingly... -
Modelling and optimization of microalgae growth and product formation in outdoor tubular photobioreactors
The composition of microalgae biomass is dependent on cultivation conditions, such as nutrient availability. The aim of this project is to develop a... -
Design of a floating photobioreactor for microalgae cultivation on Bonaire
The availability of sunlight and stable climate conditions in tropical regions can facilitate high year-round productivities of microalgae, a... -
Mixotrophic cultivation of microalgae
In mixotrophic cultivation of microalgae, carbon dioxide, and organic carbons are simultaneously assimilated and both a chemoheterotrophic and... -
Microalgae production in liquid foam-bed photobioreactors
The objective of the project is to develop a liquid foam-bed photobioreactor as an innovative microalgae cultivation concept. The project aims to... -
Microalgae Biorefinery 2.0 (MAB 2.0)
Microalgae cultivation provides a means to combine recovery of nutrients and carbon dioxide from wastewater and flue gas with the production of... -
Phototrophic polypeptide production from urine
Human urine is rich in polluting nutrients (nitrogen). Cyanophycin is a nitrogen rich polymer produced by cyanobacteria. In this project we will...
