Title:
CARBON MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/109379
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Novel methods and systems for the sequestration of carbon dioxide to be used for algae growth and lipid production in open and closed photo bioreactors and in heterotrophic reactors using sugars and other nutrients. Novel methods and systems for augmenting biomass with the temporal use of fixed carbon supplements. Multiple mechanical, chemical and membrane technologies are combined to increase the overall efficiency of carbon dioxide absorption and subsequent conversion into carbohydrates, algae and oils in aqueous medium. Dramatic reductions in energy to drive heterotrophic reactors utilizing algae are disclosed using novel process conditions ideally suited to large scale commercial production of oils.
