Show moreThe sunray venus (SRV) clam (Macrocallista nimbosa), is an alternative shellfish aquaculture species to hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) for Florida. Production of high-quality hatchery seed is dependent on diet. This study was initiated to determine an optimal live microalgae diet and test the efficacy of commercially available microalgae concentrates as partial or complete replacements for live algae. Benefits were seen with multiple algal species combinations. Both clam species achieved highest growth and survival when fed a multi-species quad-algal live diet, although hard clams performed well when fed I. galbana and C. gracilis or I. galbana and P. lutheri. Neither species performed well with complete replacement diets, but showed good production with partial replacement diets. The fatty acid (FA) profile of clams reflected the FA profile of the fed diet. Clams fed multi-species diets of live algae had a well-balanced FA profile consisting of high n3/n6, EPA/DHA and EPA/ARA ratios.

Among various sources for biofuels, microalgae provide at least three-orders-of-magnitude higher production rate of biodiesel at a given land area than conventional crop-based methods. However, microalgal biodiesel still suffers from significantly lower harvesting efficiency, making such a fuel less competitive. To increase the separation efficiency of microalgae from cultivation solution, an orbital microchannel was utilized that enabled the isolation of biofuel-algae particles from the...
Show moreAmong various sources for biofuels, microalgae provide at least three-orders-of-magnitude higher production rate of biodiesel at a given land area than conventional crop-based methods. However, microalgal biodiesel still suffers from significantly lower harvesting efficiency, making such a fuel less competitive. To increase the separation efficiency of microalgae from cultivation solution, an orbital microchannel was utilized that enabled the isolation of biofuel-algae particles from the effluent. The results obtained showed that the separation efficiency in the microfluidic centrifugal separator can be as high as 76% within a quick separation time of 30 seconds. Multiple parameters of algae behaviors and separation techniques such as initial concentration, pH and temperature were studied and manipulated to achieve better efficiencies. It was found that changing these factors altered the separation efficiency by increasing or decreasing flocculation, or “clumping” of the microalgae within the microchannels. The results suggested that an acidic condition would enhance the separation efficiency since in a basic environment, large flocs of microalgae would block and hinder the separation process. Furthermore, a hot temperature solution (around 33 °C) yielded to a higher separation efficiency. The important characteristics of the separator geometry and the infusion rate on algae separation were also very effective in the separation process. This study revealed that there is an opportunity to improve the currently low efficiency of algae separation in centrifugal systems using much smaller designs in size, ensuring a much more efficient algae harvesting.
