Solix Produces Biofuel from Algae Oil in Demo Plant

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Fort Collins, Colo.-based Solix Biofuels is producing a steady stream of algae-based biofuel from its six-month old demonstration facility, CEO Doug Henston told the Cleantech Group.

Solix, which developed a process using photo-bioreactors to make algae-based biofuel and chemicals, is sending the biofuel to potential partners for testing, Henston said.

Solix’s Web site says the facility has a peak production capacity of 3,000 gallons per acre, per year of algal oil. Microalgae can be harvested every five to seven days during the peak growth season, according to Solix.

Henston said Solix plans to expand the production of Coyote Gulch if it can access more CO2 and wastewater.
