Performance of two new filtration devices for harvesting of Spirulina alga

Two new filtration techniques are discussed for large scale harvesting of Spirulina fusiformis . They are (1) a column-gravity filter (CGF) and (2) a rotary drum filter (RAJI-I) which works using a simple centrifugal pump or by gravity. Either independently or in combination, these devices promise l...

Description
Summary:Two new filtration techniques are discussed for large scale harvesting of Spirulina fusiformis . They are (1) a column-gravity filter (CGF) and (2) a rotary drum filter (RAJI-I) which works using a simple centrifugal pump or by gravity. Either independently or in combination, these devices promise low harvesting costs apart from simple fabrication and low initial costs.
