“Algae: Mining Wastewater for Nutrients, Fuel, and Fertilizer”
Holiday Inn Research Center, 5903 University Dr. Huntsville, Alabama
March 26, 2010
This information-packed workshop explores how to minimize algae production’s fresh water and nutrient footprints by recycling wastewater streams while at the same time producing a host of valuable algal end products. In addition, we will learn of algae’s tremendous potential as a cost-effective bioremediation tool for wastewater streams, effecting a more stable and healthy ecosystem.
Who Should Attend
Algal researchers and companies, investors, water treatment consultants, municipalities, water treatment companies, agricultural leaders, farmers, municipal wastewater handlers, industrial wastewater producers and engineers for meat and poultry, pulp and paper, textiles, dyes and pigments, food and dairy, starch and cellulose, pesticides and insecticides, metal finishers, and chemical and drug formulators.
Topics of discussion:
The economics of wastewater streams and effects on our environment
Win/win potential for algae-based wastewater bioremediation
Making algae production/bioremediation a double income stream
Identifying roadblocks to mass scale algae production using wastewater
Matching wastewater streams with appropriate algal strains and systems
Examining potential for feed, fuel and fertilizer end products
Optimizing open pond and closed loop algae/wastewater systems
