The Production of

Bioethanol from Algae

Introduction
Introduction
The biggest consumption
in the world for now is
diesel oil (diesel) which
is 22 million kiloliters in
2002
At present, fossil fuels
still occupy the highest
position in their use
Oil fuel is still something
that is very necessary in
carrying out activities.
Fossil natural resources
cannot be renewed, so
that in the future there
will be a big problem in
the availability of fossil
fuels
To overcome this
problem, it can be done
in two ways, the first is to
limit the use of fossil
fuels and the second is to
look for other alternative
fuels.
Algae can be an
alternative solution to
overcome this problems.

MAIN POINT
Algae
Algae which are the third generation feedstock for biofuels
are an alternative for the first and second generation
feedstocks due to their productivity, easily cultivation and
convenient harvesting time.

The algae starch, cellulose or other accumulating

carbohydrates can be used for the production of
ethanol after hydrolysis.

Spirogyra is one of the commonest of green algae

abundant in spring.

It is found in bright green free floating masses in

the still water fresh water ponds, pools, lakes and
ditches and also in flowing streams.
Spirogyra SP
Spirogyra (common names include water silk, mermaid's
tresses, and blanket weed) is one of the commonest of
green algae abundant in spring.

It is commonly found in freshwater habitats, and

there are more than 400 species of Spirogyra in
the world.

Spirogyra measures approximately 10 to 100 μm

in width and may grow to several centimetres in
length
 Fermentation Process to Produce Ethanol

Growing starch-accumulating, Contacting the decaying

filament-forming, or colony- biomass with a yeast capable of
forming algae in an aqua culture fermenting it to form a
environment fermentation solution

Harvesting the grown algae to Separating the resulting ethanol

form a biomass from the fermentation solution
How to Produce Saccharification is
By heating the solution at
a distance of 78-100C it will
cause most of the ethanol
carried out for 6 days at to evaporate, and through
300C and the process is the condensation unit
monitored every 24 ethanol will be produced
Dry algae are refined and
filtered so that biomass hours for the sugar
