Title:

METHOD FOR CULTIVATING MARINE MICROALGAE USING EFFLUENTS FROM A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/081234

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method for cultivating marine microalgae using effluents from a nuclear power plant (thermal plume), and more particularly, to a method for the mass cultivation of marine microalgae, comprising the steps of: lowering the initial temperature of 45 to 60˚C of a nuclear power plant effluent in stages, up to a growing temperature of about 30˚C; adding nutrients required for cultivating microalgae to the effluent; and conditioning marine microalgae to a nutrient medium. Through the present invention, the efficient production of biodiesel is made possible by harnessing an energy source that would otherwise be wasted, and environmental problems caused by the direct discharge of thermal plumes can be averted.
