Into each trough, an unfilled bioreactor pipe extruded from polyethylene plastic was placed. Prepared media (in which urea was used as nitrogen source and urease enzyme was added) were filled into the bioreactor pipes. The bioreactor pipes were inoculated with Pseudochlorococcum sp., which was allowed to grow. Algal culture (5000 l) was centrifuged at 5k rpm for 10 minutes to pellet the algal bodies. The pelleted algal bodies were removed and dried and used as feedstock. The dried algal biomass (0.1 m3) was added to reaction chamber (1000 l), which was surrounded by a water jacket connected to a pump and a heating element that increases the chamber temperature to 55 degrees C. Catalyst (hydrochloric acid) was prepared by bubbling 100% hydrochloric acid (HCl) into 1%N anhydrous methanol and the methanol/HCl was added to the reaction chamber in a ratio of 6 parts catalyst to 1 part of dried algal biomass. The reaction chamber was maintained at 55 degrees C for 4 hours, then the reaction product was filtered and transferred via hollow tubing to a water-jacketed chamber for distillation. The solids were retained by the filter consist of biomeal with a protein content of 65% of the initial algal biomass. The separated reaction product was heated to 65 degrees C inside the water-jacketed chamber. This distillation step was performed to remove the methanol/HCl, which was recovered and reused in subsequent reactions. Following the distillation step, the chamber containing the filtered reaction product was cooled to 25 degrees C. Petroleum ether was added at a ratio of 5 parts ether to 1 part of the filtered reaction product. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 4 hours to extract the biodiesel.
