Dear colleagues,
We looking for a partner work on producing bio-fuel from algae. We cultivate algae and need an expert on bio-fuel from Algae.
Dear Dr Selvaraju Sivamani
this not my point . because I not specialist is this field. main aim of my proposal is "How can we multiply products from recycled water unit" .....recycled water in my system will be use to produce
1- aquatic plants ...that can be used as forage
2- algae (macro and micr algae) that can be used as a biofuel (bio-dissed or bio ethanol)
3- fish production
4- energy crops (Jatropha) which can be used as bio-ject fuel
So, the most important in this stage get a partner who can decided this algae or jatropa can be benefit in which purpose.
can you help me
We do not produce fuel, but we can run combustion tests in a single cylinder research engine on small samples, or performance and emissions tests on production diesel engines on larger samples of the fuel.
H,i we would be interest in a collaborative project. The University of Greenwich has existing strong links in Egypt and is working on biofuels and biorefining of both macro and micro-algae. Here are some links to press releases issued in 2014:

We were also involved recently in a major ACP project in this area, "Capacity building in South Africa, Namibia and Ghana to create sustainable, non-food bio-oil supply chains":

I hope this gives a flavour of our current interests. I would be pleased to discuss any potential collaboration

If do you need any help in downstream of algae processing I'd happily see a cooperation , there are a number of units, up to pilot scale for batch and continuous operations of 2nd gen biodiesel processing and for different separation tasks. For reference I'd recommend: Kovács A., Ball C.: Capacity and Efficiency in Small- to Medium-Sized Biodiesel Production Systems: Increasing Profitability Through Agro-Industrial Ecology Principles, Journal of Industrial Ecology, Vol. 16, issue 1, 153–162., yours, András
Dear Dr. Nabil,
You can contact with Prof. Aboelkhair Badawy Elsayed (Algal Biotechnoloy unit, National Research Center, Egypt)
