Aquaflow Bionomic to Work With UOP on Algal Biofuels
30 October 2008
National Business Review. New Zealand’s Aquaflow Bionomic (earlier post) will use UOP’s production processes to convert algae into fuel.
Aquaflow has already succeeded in producing its first batch of green crude oil. Chairman Barrie Leay said UOP would be involved in the secondary processing stage&mash;refining the crude oil into products ready for industrial use. Airline Boeing suggested that Aquaflow work with UOP, Mr Leay said.
More specific details on the memorandum of understanding between the two parties should be available by the end of November when UOP representatives are scheduled to visit New Zealand, he said.
Seems like a great idea if they can make it cost effective. They say that there is more and more algae appearing in the oceans every year.
