Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid alkyl esters as well as cellulosic simplified sugars, shortened protein polymers, amino acids, or combination thereof resulting from the simultaneous esterification and hydrolysis, alcoholysis, or both of algae and other oil containing materials containing free fatty acids (FFA), glycerides, or combination thereof as well as polysaccharides, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignocellulose, protein polymers, or combination thereof in presences of an alcohol and an acid catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid alkyl esters as well as cellulosic simplified sugars, shortened protein polymers, amino acids, or combination thereof resulting from the simultaneous esterification and hydrolysis, alcoholysis, or both of algae and other oil containing materials containing phospholipids, free fatty acids (FFA), glycerides, or combination thereof as well as polysaccharides, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignocellulose, protein polymers, or combination thereof in the presence of an alcohol and an optional acid catalyst.

Abstract: A process for harvesting microalgae from an aqueous suspension of microalgae is disclosed. A dilute aqueous suspension of the algae is mixed with a hydrophobic liquid with a specific gravity of less than 1 and, optionally, a flocculent. When the mixture settles, the microalgae become suspended in the hydrophobic liquid above the aqueous solution. The hydrophobic liquid can skimmed from the aqueous solution for further processing.

Abstract: A method for separating at least one volatile component such as an alkyl ester, an alcohol, hydroxymethylfuran, dimethylfuran, methyl tetrahydrofuran, a polyhydric alcohol, or a reduction product of a polyhydric alcohol from at least one non-volatile component such as a saccharide, a peptide, or ash in a mixture is disclosed. The method includes heating the mixture to a temperature of between 150-250° C. and contacting the mixture with a superheated distillation alcohol in a gaseous or vapor phase. The distillation alcohol pressure imparts partial vapor pressure on the at least one volatile component of the mixture and distills at least a portion of the at least one volatile component from the mixture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for oxidizing renewable polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to a malonic acid intermediate which is subsequently reduced to 1,3 propanediol (PDO).
