The Use of Chemical Flocculants and Chitosan as a Pre-Concentration Step in the Harvesting Process of Three Native Microalgae Species from the Canary Islands Cultivated Outdoors at the Pilot Scale

The Use of Chemical Flocculants and Chitosan as a Pre-Concentration Step in the Harvesting Process of Three Native Microalgae Species from the Canary Islands Cultivated Outdoors at the Pilot Scale

Biomass harvesting represents one of the main bottlenecks in microalgae large-scale production. Solid–liquid separation of the biomass accounts for 30% of the total production costs, which can be reduced by the use of flocculants as a pre-concentration step in the downstream process. The natural pol...
