💨 Abstract

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed an innovative microalgal biorefinery model that treats wastewater while producing biofuels. The project uses large-scale reactor systems, advanced thermochemical conversion processes, and green chemistry to remove up to 85% of pollutants from wastewater. The team also designed a waste-to-energy system that produces biocrude oil from harvested algae and sewage sludge.
