Nualgi – Algae for Bio-remediation and Biodiesel
November 25th, 2008 by M V BhaskarA few days ago we received confirmation that Nualgi boosts growth of Green Algae too. We had been using Nualgi for Diatom algae only in the past.
However the new development opens up more vistas for Nualgi – since green algae is a source of biodiesel.
In natural ponds where both Diatoms and Green Algae are present we found that Nualgi causes a bloom of diatoms and not of green algae. But if used in ponds in which only Green Algae are present then even these would bloom.
Nualgi is a sustainable solution because it sets off a series of sustainable cycles:
CO2 – O2 cycle in water – Anthropogenic CO2, Aquatic Animal CO2 to O2 from Diatoms.
Food – Sewage – Nutrients in water – Fish – Food Cycle.
Biodiesel – CO2 – Diatoms – Biodiesel cycle.
Diatoms to Aerobic Bacteria – CO2 and Nutrients to O2 Cycle
Study of Algae – Phycology
Phyco: prefix; from the Greek, phukos meaning seaweed, algae; phycology.
