Title:
MICROALGAE-HARVESTING METHOD AND MICROALGAE-HARVESTING TRAILER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/011842
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention is a microalgae-harvesting trailer (1) wherein two hoppers (20) capable of harvesting microalgae have each been set on a vehicle frame (10). A rotating shaft (40) is set on a platform at the center of the trailer (1) and a swing arm (50), which extends in two directions, is supported on the rotating shaft (40) so as to be rotatable. Hemispherical net devices (60) are attached to the two ends of the swing arm (50) and the net devices (60) are configured from multiple clamps (61), which can approach and separate from each other, and can be opened and closed. The net devices (60) in an open state are moved using the trailer (1) near containers (80) in which microalgae is cultivated in a state that is mixed with water. The net devices (60) are lowered into the containers (80) to take the water and microalgae into the net devices (60). Then, with the net devices (60) in a closed state, the devices are drawn up from inside the containers (80). Partial drying is performed in the raising process. Not only is yield increased but maintenance costs can also be reduced.
