Biofuel Advance Research and Development, LLC. (BARD) has entered into an agreement with The Green Institute Inc. to construct and operate a commercial scale algae system pilot facility located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The planned facility will produce algae biomass to be used to produce biodiesel, and other commercial products. The pilot facility is estimated to produce 20,000,000 gallons of algae oil / biodiesel per acre per annum. Initially, the pilot facility will produce 43,070 gallons of algae oil / biodiesel per annum using 6 modules of photo-bioreactors covering 84 square feet. The pilot facility highlights the success of a patent-pending engineering process designed by The Green Institute, Inc. The environment friendly technology allows production of algae biomass and subsequent extraction of bio-oil. The algae at the pilot facility will be cultivated and harvested in photo-bioreactors. The facility will focus on cultivating algae that can produce high yields of biodiesel. There are more than 300,000 strains of algae, with different ratios of three main types of molecule: oils, carbohydrates and protein. Company scientists and engineers have utilized a new technological screening processes combined with microbial biology to identify natural algae strains that are best suited for biofuel production. Further, the pilot facility will demonstrate that this process can sequester more than 90 percent of carbon dioxide fed into the system. A leading global engineering company, Tetra Tech, Inc. of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, will do the facility’s engineering and construction.
