Technical and economic viability of using solar thermal energy for microalgae drying

The solar thermal energy is evaluated to microalgae drying active processes as an alternative more economical and sustainable than conventional methods such as spray-dryer. A case study of microalgae production in a 10,000 m2 raceway reactor was considered where the biomass production capacity per y...
