Summary

With a tubular culture system of 1 m2 of photosynthesis surface, fully controled and automatized, we have been studying since 1976, in the South of France, the productivity of microalgae. The production in total dry matter reach 21 g/m2/day (76 T/ha/year) on an annual average with a continuous production during 365 days. The energy balance, fixed energy over technology energy leads to no gain and must be improved. The cost of the biomass is between 4 and 8 FF/kg. A valuable target, in the actual state of the technology can only be a biomass with a market price > 10 FF/kg. This target exists with the microalga Porphyridium cruentum which in certain culture conditions we are controlingproduces 50% of its total biomass weight as a sulfated exocellular polysaccharide, soluble in the culture medium and precipitable with pure ethanol. This polysaccharide can be used as a thickening agent in food industries and presents interesting caracteristics for enhanced oil recovery.

After extraction of the polysaccharide (about 10 g/m2/day or 36 t/ha/year), it remains an equivalent quantity of methanisable cellular biomass.

We propose a tubular culture system of 10 m2, based on our technology which will be working during 1 year in 1983 and the conception of a pilot of 100 m2 as a plan document in 1983. During the contract period we will continue to produce informations at the 1 m2 level in order to improve the study of the market for the polysaccharide (food/drug/oil enhanced recovery alternatives).
