    Abstract: A continuous system for growing algae, processing it and converting it into electricity, fuel and animal feed. The system utilizes an algae bioreactor which feeds harvested algae to a biomass extraction system which in turn directs a portion of the harvested algae to a microbial generator. The microbial generator converts the algae into electricity, water and nutrients. The biomass extraction system includes a dewatering device and a biomass dryer. The microbial generator in a preferred embodiment is a microbial fuel cell. Dry algae product used for animal feed, fuel, and the like is obtained from the output of the biomass dryer.
