I-cyclalg, iprojekthi yase-Yurophu yokudala oomatshini be-biorefinery kunye ne-algae

Icyclalg yiprojekthi yaseYurophu enjongo yayo ikukudala i-biorefinery apho zonke iinkqubo eziyimfuneko ukuvelisa i-biodiesel ziphuhliswa kwaye ziqinisekisiwe ngokusebenzisa Inkcubeko encinci. Amaziko obuchwepheshe amathandathu abekwe ngaphakathi IFransi, iNavarra kunye ne-Euskadi, kwaye kulindeleke ukuba ihlale iminyaka emithathu, kunye nohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwe 1,4 million.

Eyona njongo iphambili yeprojekthi kukuseka imodeli entsha ye Uqoqosho olujikelezayo ngokuveliswa kwe-biodiesel kunye nezinye i-biofuels ezivela kwi-microalgae. Lo mzekelo ufuna ukuthatha ithuba lenkunkuma ephilayo eyenziwe ukuze isetyenziswe njengokutya kwe-microalgae, ngaloo ndlela ikhuthaza ukukhula kwayo kunye nokudibanisa inkqubo yokuzimela kunye neyozinzo. Inkunkuma ayiphinda isetyenziswe ngaphakathi kwinkqubo kuphela kodwa, ngokongeza ubomi bayo obuluncedo, iimveliso eziluncedo zinokufunyanwa Amachiza, amandla kunye neshishini lezolimo.

Ukubaluleka kwe-microalgae kwimveliso ye-biodiesel

I-Microalgae zi-oleaginous microorganisms ezinekhono elimangalisayo lokukhula ngokukhawuleza kwindawo yasemanzini. Zinomtsalane ngakumbi kwimveliso ye-biofuel ngenxa yazo Uxinzelelo lwe-lipid ephezulu, kubalulekile kwinkqubo yokuguqula i-oyile kwi-biodiesel ngokusebenzisa i i-esterification.

Ngokungafaniyo nezityalo zemveli ezifana nombona okanye umoba, i-microalgae ayikhuphisani ngomhlaba ochumileyo oyimfuneko kwimveliso yezolimo. Ukongeza, banako ukwenza bamba i-CO2 ukusuka kwiatmosfera ngokufanelekileyo ngakumbi kunezityalo zomhlaba, ukunceda ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse njengoko zikhula. Enye inqaku eliphambili kukuba banokukhula kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zamanzi: fresh, inetyuwa kwaye nakumanzi amdaka, ephindaphinda amathuba okusetyenziswa kwayo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kunye neemeko zokusingqongileyo.

Neiker-Tecnalia: Umququzeleli weprojekthi

INeiker-Tecnalia, iziko letekhnoloji kwiLizwe laseBasque, lilungelelanisa iprojekthi yeCyclalg, inoxanduva lokuqinisekisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwezoqoqosho kunye nendalo kokulinywa kwe-microalgae imveliso ye-biodiesel. Oku kuthetha ukwenza ngcono i iimeko zokukhula ukuqinisekisa ukuba imbuyekezo yanele ukuthethelela iinzame zokuqala notyalo-mali.

Omnye weyona mingeni ibalulekileyo yeCyclalg kukufumana umlinganiselo ofanelekileyo wenkunkuma ephilayo esebenza njengokutya kwe-microalgae. Ngexesha leprojekthi yangaphambili, I-Energreen (eyenzeka phakathi kwe-2012 kunye ne-2014), ukusetyenziswa kwe-algae yokuveliswa kwe-biodiesel kwaqinisekiswa, kodwa iingxaki zifunyenwe xa kusetyenziswa i-oyile ye-organic residual, ngenxa yokubunjwa kwazo. Ezi nkunkuma, nangona zizityebi kwiiprotheni kunye noshukela, azihlali ziziphatha ngokuzinzileyo ngaphakathi komjikelezo wemveliso, efuna izifundo zokulungelelanisa iinkqubo.

Ingcamango ye-biorefinery

Omnye oomatshini bokushicilela ilandela ingqikelelo efanayo njengendawo yokusulungekisa eqhelekileyo, endaweni yokusebenzisa i-oyile ekrwada kuphela, iyaqhuba Ingca organic, kule meko microalgae. Ngaphakathi kwi-biorefinery, onke amacandelo e-biomass akhutshwa kwaye asetyenziswe, ukufumana i-bioproducts eyahlukeneyo kumjikelo oqhubekayo. Njengoko iyi-microalgae biorefinery, eyona njongo iphambili kukuvelisa i-biodiesel, kodwa ezinye i-biofuels nazo zinokufumaneka ezifana bioethanol o biogas, kunye neemveliso zesibini zexabiso ezongeziweyo ezifana biofertilizers y ukutya kwezilwanyana.

Le ndlela ibanzi ingundoqo ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza kakuhle kwezoqoqosho, njengoko ivumela iimveliso ezininzi ukuba zifunyenwe kumthombo omnye we-biomass. Kwimeko yeCyclalg, ukubanakho ukukhupha iikhompawundi ezahlukeneyo kuphononongwa, ukusuka kwi-biofuels ukuya kwizithako ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe kwimichiza, izithambiso kunye namashishini amayeza, afana ne-antioxidants, i-lipids kunye neeprotheni.

Impumelelo yeprojekthi iya kuxhomekeka kwizinto ezininzi

• Ukuphucula ukulinywa kwe-microalgae: Uphuhliso lweefotobioreactors ezisebenzayo nezizinzileyo.
• Ukusetyenziswa kwenkunkuma: Thatha ithuba lenkunkuma ephilayo njengenxalenye yokukhula kwe-microalgae.
• Ukuvelisa i-bioproducts enenzuzo: Yandisa umjikelo.
