CONSORTIAL GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS FOR FUEL FEEDSTOCKS

WIPO Patent Application WO2008127629

B1

Land based biomass production is constrained by the limited amount of material than can be produced per acre because of nutrient, soil and weather conditions. Aquatic species can be grown at far higher densities per unit area with far more consistency. Most bioreactors have focused on the growth of phototropic species. This invention, which relates to the field of fuel feedstock production, discloses a system designed to reproduce the interdependent consortia found in nature where the majority of the biomass is anaerobic and non-phototropic. Through careful control of nutrient inflow, pH, temperature, product and waste removal, the system can be tuned to sustain an ongoing microorganism "bloom" condition across the full range of resident species. It also allows for the production of directly usable fuel oils and biofilms as well as gas streams that can be converted to commercially useful chemicals using available process technology.
