NOVELTY - Recovering products from algae, involves mixing an algae feed with particulate solids, where the algae feed comprises 0.1-30 wt.% algae in water; exposing the algae feed to a solvent under effective solvent extraction conditions, where the effective solvent extraction conditions includes a temperature of at least 40 degrees C and a pressure of 100-2500 psig, to form an extraction mixture comprising the solvent, the particulate solids, water, extracted products, and residual algae solids; and recovering at least a portion of the extracted products from the extraction mixture.    USE - For recovering products from algae, where the extracted products comprise fuel products, fuel blending products, products that can be converted to form fuel product or fuel blending product (claimed) such as lipids or oils.    ADVANTAGE - The method allows improved extraction efficiency of lipid or oil products in an abbreviated time frame; and reduces or mitigates the need to use specialized and/or expensive processing techniques to dewater the algae.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Recovering (M1) products from algae, involves mixing an algae feed with particulate solids, where the algae feed comprises 0.1-30 wt.% algae in water, the particulate solids have an average particle size of 1-200 mu m, the weight of the particulate solids are at least 10% of the weight of the algae feed; exposing the algae feed to a solvent under effective solvent extraction conditions, where the effective solvent extraction conditions includes a temperature of at least 40 degrees C and a pressure of 100-2500 psig (0.7-17.2 MPag), to form an extraction mixture comprising the solvent, the particulate solids, water, extracted products, and residual algae solids; and recovering at least a portion of the extracted products from the extraction mixture. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) recovering (M2) products from algae, involving exposing an algae feed to a solvent under effective solvent extraction conditions, where the algae feed comprises 0.1-30 wt.% algae in water, the effective solvent extraction conditions includes a temperature of at least 40 degrees C and a pressure greater than the vapor pressure of the solvent at the temperature, to form an extraction mixture comprising the solvent, water, extracted products, and residual algae solids, and recovering at least a portion of the extracted products from the extraction mixture;    (2) recovering (M3) products from algae, involving washing an algae feed with water under effective washing conditions to produce a washed algae feed and a wash effluent, where the algae feed comprises 0.1-30 wt.% algae in water; exposing the washed algae feed to a solvent comprising ethanol under effective solvent extraction conditions, the effective solvent extraction conditions includes a temperature of at least 50 degrees C and a pressure of 14-200 psig (0.1-1.4 MPag), the pressure being greater than a vapor pressure of the ethanol at the temperature, to form an extraction mixture comprising the ethanol, water, extracted non-polar products, and residual algae solids, and recovering at least a portion of the non-polar extracted products from the ethanol;    (3) recovering (M4) products from algae, involving exposing an algae feed to an aqueous-based solvent under effective solvent extraction conditions, where the algae feed comprises 0.1-30 wt.% algae in water, where the effective solvent extraction conditions include a temperature of at least 40 degrees C and a pressure greater than the vapor pressure of the solvent at the temperature, to form an extraction mixture comprising the aqueous-based solvent, extracted products, and residual algae solids, adding an organic solvent to the extraction mixture, separating the extraction mixture to form a first stream comprising at least 50 wt.% of the water and at least 50 wt.% of the residual algae solids and a second stream comprising at least 50 wt.% of the organic solvent and at least 50 wt.% of the extracted products, and recovering at least a portion of the extracted products from the solvent.
