Publication number: 20160137951Abstract: Processes for extracting product molecules from an algae feed are provided. The algae feed represents an input stream, batch sample, or other algae portion suitable for use in product extraction. The product extraction is typically performed at pressures greater than ambient pressure. This allows for improved extraction, including the potential for use of extraction solvents at temperatures greater than the boiling point for the solvent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2016Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Peter Domaille, Joe Toporowski, Judit Bartalis
