Agricultural Algae Oil Extraction Machine in Nigeria

How is microalgae oil extracted?
In the microalgae industry, the extraction of microalgae oil is an important process because it involves high energy consumption and high cost. At present, the main microalgae oil extraction methods are mechanical pressing [ 25 ], supercritical fluid extraction [ 27 ], enzyme extraction [ 43 ], and organic solvent extraction [ 7 ].
How to extract oil from algae Spirogyra?
Conclusion The extraction of oil from the algae Spirogyra was carried out using the (Solid –liquid) solvent extraction method using Soxhlet apparatus. From the experimental results obtained, the size factor considered for the oil extraction showed that finer the size of algae, more the contact between solvent producing high amount of oil content.
Can algae extract oil?
From the experiment, it was found that the oil extraction from 100% dried algae and finer size of algae resulted in higher percentage of oil extraction. For algae of mass 50g, the oil yielded was around 83% for solid to solvent ratio of 1:5, particle size of 0.322μm, and reaction time was of 3h.
What is algae oil extraction process?
… In third-generation algae biodiesels, the oil extraction process plays a beneficial role in which the solid form of dried algae powder/flakes is transferred into a liquid (algae oil) form known as the extraction process (Topare et al., 2011).
