Pilot Scale Microalgae Cultivation: Challenges and Practical Solutions to Pond Crash brings together the latest research on microalgae cultivation for biofuels and proposes methods for tackling the critical issue of sudden pond crash in both pilot and demonstration scale cultivation. Engaging the challenges in both academic research and industrial applications, this book provides routes to identify signs of imminent pond crash, control damage where possible, and prevent future crashes through environmental control and early detection.

Chapters outline microalgae cultivation at pilot scale, showing methods for upstream and down-stream processing of microalgae and outlining different applications for microalgae biomass, along with potential challenges.
