  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING NON-POLAR LIPIDS FROM AN AQUEOUS ALGAE SLURRY AND LIPIDS PRODUCED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20150307809
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for extracting non-polar lipids from microalgae are achieved using a lipid extraction device having an anode and a cathode that forms a channel and defines a fluid flow path through which an aqueous slurry is passed. An electromotive force is applied across the channel at a gap distance in a range from 0 5 mm to 200 mm to cause the non-polar lipids to be released from the algae cells. The non-polar lipids can be extracted at a high throughput rate and with low concentrations of polar lipids such as phospholipids and chlorophyll.
    Type: Application
