Energy, 2014, vol. 76, issue C, 807-815

Abstract: A technical evaluation of a plant for biodiesel production from microalgae was investigated in which a novel configuration of a CPR (closed pond photobioreactor) is proposed. The entire process was simulated by Aspen Plus® and optimized energetically in order to obtain the best profits in energy terms.
