Optimal Design of an Integrated Microalgae Biorefinery for the Production of Biodiesel and PHBs [PDF]
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014 In this work, we formulate a nonlinear programming model for the design of an integrated microalgae- based biorefinery for the production of biodiesel and value added co-products which depend on the particular microalgae species considered.
