Pilot-scale cultivation of microalgae Chlorella sp. in municipal wastewater using an open pond raceway
Microalgae is one of the prominent sources for biodiesel production. Cultivation of a specific microalgae strain (chlorella sp.) in wastewater using a pilot-scale open pond raceway was studied. Daily measurement of the raceway parameters such as pH, optical density and dissolved oxygen indicated that growth phase prolonged for 15 days and pH of the culture stayed on 9.4 for the most part of the pe
