Biodiesel a solution to Sewage
World over sewage treatment plants are fighting algae bloom, when this algae can be effectively harvested and processed to obtain valuable oil that can be converted into Bio diesel. The equipment and knowledge required for the implementation of this process is available world over and at nominal costs , which is reducing by the day. The complicated part of this process is the separation of algae from water which currently has been made easy to a large extent.
The algae extracted could be directly used for oil production after processing. The Bio particles collected could be used as fertilizers in algae ponds. Thus making the algae oil a lot more Eco friendly than when chemical fertilizers are used. This can be effective waste management methods where land is available, land is required because algae ponds need more surface area than depth for maximised algae growth.
Another method would be to use :-
Thermal depolymerization, this uses hydrous pyrolysis to convert reduced complex organics to oil.
But the problem with this would be environmental and economic issues. The amount of heat used in this process is huge thus making it economically non viable and environmentally ineffective. So Biodiesel would be the better option.
Thus our own waste can power our vehicles.
