NOVELTY - System comprises: a source of oil-containing algae and water; a collection station (105); a source of energy; a head that contains at least one deflector having an impingement surface and at least one outlet port (110); a pump (115) having an inlet and an outlet, where the inlet is connected to the collection station and the outlet is terminating within the head for directing algae and water against deflector, thus resulting in the release of a mixture (100) comprising the oil, the water and residue comprising algal cell walls; a tank capable of receiving the mixture; and many ports in tank.    USE - The system is useful for extracting oil from algae (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The system: is simple, safe, high volume, low cost in construction and operation (which does not require solvent chemicals, enzymes, osmotic shock, ultrasonic energy, mechanical or hydraulic pressing); and provides fast separation of oil from algae; improves microalgal oil which can be immediately available for biodiesel processing; and is capable of a rate of production exceeding 10000 l/24 hours/day, for 365 days.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - System comprises: a source of oil-containing algae and water; a collection station (105); a source of energy; a head that contains at least one deflector having an impingement surface and at least one outlet port (110); a pump (115) having an inlet and an outlet, where the inlet is connected to the collection station and the outlet is terminating within the head and capable of forcibly directing the algae and water against the deflector, while the pump is energized by the source of energy, in sufficient force to rupture at least a portion of the algae, thus resulting in the release of a mixture (100) comprising the oil, the water and residue comprising algal cell walls; a tank capable of receiving the mixture, thus when the tank is at least partially full and the pump is turned off, the mixture separates into three layers comprising substantially an upper layer of the oil, a middle layer of the water, and a bottom layer of the residue; and many ports in the tank for enabling removal of the oil, the water, and the residue from the tank, thus the mixture has separated, the oil can be harvested and the water and the residue can be removed from the tank.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic diagram of a system for separating oil from algae.    Mixture (100)    Station (105)    Port (110)    Pump (115)    Valve (120)
