Hi,

Wish to know on the cost of production and the in specific on the algal bio diesel production for a pilot plant in India.

Regards
Ram

actually the cost of pilot plant depends upon the size of plant ... ..

anyway the total cost include

1. Indicative Costs for Open Ponds
2. Indicative Costs for Closed Ponds
3. Cost of Photobioreactors
4. Cost of Drum Filtration
5. Cost of Centrifugation
6. Cost of Flocculation
7. Cost of Flotation
8. Cost of Extraction Using Oil Press
9. Cost of Solvent Extraction
10. Transesterification Cost
11. Cost of Starch to Ethanol (via Fermentation)
12. Cellulose to Ethanol Cost
13. Cost of Anaerobic Digestion
14. Cost of Gasification / Pyrolysis & Catalytic Synthesis
15. Cost of Direct Combustion
16. Yield Assumptions
17. Cost Estimates for the Various Options under Each Stage of Production
18. The Total Cost of Biodiesel Production
19. Cost of Photobioreactors – from Algaeway
20. Capital Costs of Open Raceway Ponds
21. Enzyme/Fermentation Vs. Gasification/Synthesis
22. Capital Cost Estimates of Gasification & Pyrolysis Plants
23. Costs for Biomass Energy Using Combustion
24. Typical Biodiesel Cost Break-Up
