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... -
Microalgae biostimulants: a natural boost for plant health
Biostimulants are substances that improve plant health by enhancing metabolic and physiological mechanisms such as nutrient uptake and tolerance to... -
Single-step disentanglement and fractionation of microalgal high-value products through acoustophoresis
Mass production of biomass-based biofuels and biocommodities is required to disrupt the current fossil-based ones. Microalgae, could play a key role... -
Characterization and improvement of thermo-tolerant microalgae from Bonaire
Sustainable production of microalgae is best done at locations which offer high solar irradiance, constant climatological conditions and seawater... -
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... -
Tailored microalgae as a sustainable oil crop production platform
We aim at understanding fundamental processes of metabolic networks involved in oil production in photosynthetic organisms. Obtained insights will be... -
Enhancing Algae-based CO2 Capture and Sequestration for Large Scale Application in Qatar
CO2 supply to microalgae cultures can be challenging, especially in large scale cultivation. This project focusses on improving CO2 transfer and CO2...
