FINNED SPACER FOR ENHANCED MEMBRANE FOULING CONTROL IN CHLORELLA VULGARIS FILTRATION

Microalgae biomass is an attractive feedstock for biofuels and other applications. Prior utilization the biomass must be harvested, a step that contributes largely to the overall energy and production costs. Membrane filtration is seen as a viable option for microalgae biomass harvesti...
