Thursday, October 3
12:30pm – 9:00 pm
Algenol
As an attendee of the Algae Biomass Summit, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to tour the most sophisticated algae facility in the world where an algae strain can go from lab-scale development to commercial-scale production on one site.
Algenol’s commercial development campus includes a 70,000 square feet of world-class molecular biology, culture collection, physiology, aquaculture, analytical chemistry and engineering laboratories. The tour will showcase Algenol’s Process Development Unit (PDU), which consists of aquaculture laboratory, inoculation greenhouses and 3 acres of outdoor controlled testing area for initial deployment and optimization activities.
The Integrated Biorefinery will showcase 4000 of Algenol’s 2nd generation modular photobioreactors containing advanced proprietary algae producing in excess of 9,000 gallons of ethanol per acre per year. Spent algae from the ethanol process will be converted next year into jet, diesel and gasoline green fuels through hydrothermal liquefaction and light hydrotreating for an additional 1,350 gallons per acre per year. This commercial module deployment is automated and will be producing fuel grade ethanol on site in 2013.
More information on Algenol and its commercialization strategy can be found here.
*Important: This tour includes a three hour bus trip each way. The tour will depart at the conclusion of the Algae Biomass Summit plenary session on Thursday and return to the Orlando area around 9pm. Shuttles from Algenol to the Ft. Meyers airport will be available for tour attendees choosing to depart the conference from this airport at the conclusion of the tour. Attendees should choose flights departing the Ft. Meyers airport no earlier than 6pm.
