Aviation Fuel From Wild Algae Grown in Sewage Treatment Ponds

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation creates biodiesel from wild algae formed at Blenheim's waste treatment oxidation ponds, essentially recycling a waste product.

The company announced today that its wild algae has been successfully refined to produce a sample of synthetic paraffinic kerosene, a component in jet fuel.

Aquaflow converted the algae to fuel and American process technology company UOP LLC has now confirmed the sample meets all relevant legal specifications.

When blended with petroleum-based Jet A-1 it could be used by commercial aircraft.
