Algae Biofuels and Animal Feed

---

Algae’s biomass, once refined, can be used for animal feed and its lipid oil for blended petroleum based fuels.

 DAF Corporation’s FC Maximizer clarifier is a hybrid DAF  Maximizer clarifier compared to any other DAF clarifier in the market place.  Perfectly designed to feed and harvest algae in raceways. Our DAF  Maximizer clarifier is a very cost-effective algae harvesting machine.   Sold in the marketplace. It feeds and harvests algae with removal  efficiencies reaching 98 to 99%. Everyone knows algae feeds on  carbon  dioxide and sun light. Our unique DAF Maximizer clarifier design allows  you  to pipe carbon dioxide enriched nutrient discharge water into your growing raceways for enhanced growth and production.  A stream of  carbon dioxide laden water from our AMT to our DAF FC Maximizer  clarifier tank micro  bubbles all equal sized, rise to the surface algae  and lipid oil in the Maximizer clarifier. Our FC Maximizer clarifier  process creates a  dense fine algae float mat that is removed by the FC Maximizer variable  speed, two-blade rotating scoop. Its unique design  gently dips into the surface float and scoops up the algae and lipid oil, discharging it into the clarifier piping system  for processing.  

 Algae’s biomass once refined can be used for animal feed or its lipid oil for blended petroleum based fuels. Our DAF FC Maximizer clarifier is a very cost-effective way to harvest algae. It can also feed algae through our DAF Maximizer clarifier system. The AMT air dissolving  system. Our AMT can be used to nourish algae with a side  stream of CO2  injected into its tube as a nutrient. It’s very unique in design injects a stream of carbon dioxide water into the DAF Maximizer clarifier as fine micron bubbles. These micron bubbles rise to the surface of the water in the tank at a rate 10" to 12" per minute.  Hundreds of millions of all equal sized, fine micron bubbles entrap  themselves in the suspended  solids or algae bloom and rise to the  surface of the DAF Maximizer tank to be removed gently into a discharge pipe.
 

Analytically, our FC Maximizer clarifier clarifying efficiencies has not been matched. Clean clarified water is discharged  from the clarifier tank. This water can be piped back into different systems for a  multitude of uses.
 

The DAF FC-Maximizer is easy to operate and is self-cleaning. It’s designed perfectly to float suspended solids. It operates with no turbulence in a shallow round tank. The FC Maximizer life expectancy can be 30 years or longer if properly  maintained. Designed, manufactured, and shipped around the world for algae removal ranging  from 48 g.p.m. up to 1000 g.p.m. It is  easy to transport, install or relocate. All DAF FC Maximizers are manufactured in Kaukauna,  Wisconsin, USA. Fabrications average six months or less from receipt of  order.
The right choice for harvesting algae bloom or nourishing it is a DAF FC Maximizer clarifier and an AMT micro bubble generator. In  the long  run, high efficiencies and payback dollars are guaranteed compared to purchasing any other brand. Email or call DAF Corporation for a pilot  demo or visit our plant.
