Closed-Loop System and Method for Collecting, Decomposing, and Converting Algal Biomass into Agricultural Products

Abstract

This invention is a mobile, closed-loop system for collecting, decomposing, and converting algal biomass from wetlands into agricultural products. Within the system, water containing algae is drawn through a water extraction unit, and the algal biomass is decomposed in a sedimentation tank using a natural flocculant. The decomposed water is returned to the water source via a recovery system, and the settled biomass is processed and converted into agricultural products.

Description

1 TARIFF COLLECTION, DECOMPOSITION AND AGRICULTURAL USE OF ALGAE BIOMASS CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM FOR TRANSFORMING INTO PRODUCTS AND THE METHOD This invention has applications in environmental engineering, biotechnology, agricultural technologies, and organic fertilizer production. It relates to technical fields, and in particular to algal biomass formed in wetlands. closed loop for collection, sorting and conversion into agricultural products It is related to the system and method. With current technology, algae occurring in wetlands, lakes and water reservoirs are being monitored. Their proliferation leads to a decrease in water quality, a reduction in dissolved oxygen levels, and This leads to the disruption of the ecosystem balance. Algae in existing systems biomass is generally collected by mechanical methods or chemical methods. It is being brought under control. 15 However, these methods are costly, involve environmental risks, and It does not offer a sustainable solution. Furthermore, algal biomass is used in existing systems. mostly considered as waste and not having sufficient economic value Not in use. 20 Therefore, the collection, decomposition, and processing of algal biomass must be carried out without harming the environment. There is a need for a new system that enables its conversion into economic value. This invention allows for the harvesting of algal biomass from wetlands without harming the environment. harvesting, decomposition through natural methods, and transformation into agricultural products The goal is to develop a closed-loop system that provides this. This invention transforms algal biomass from an environmental waste into an economic value. It offers an integrated system that enables the transformation of high-yield agricultural products. 30 This invention enables the collection, decomposition, and processing of algal biomass generated in wetlands. Mobile and closed-loop systems for converting products for agricultural use. 2 It is a system. Within the system, water containing algae is collected through a water extraction unit, and sedimentation takes place. Algal biomass is separated in the tank using a natural flocculant. The separated water... It is returned to the water source through the recovery system, and the settled biomass is processed and 5 They are transformed into agricultural products. This invention can be further illustrated only by way of illustration, as shown in the attached drawings. This is explained in detail in these drawings; Figure 1 Collection, decomposition, and processing of algal biomass into agricultural products. This is an overview of the closed-loop system and methods for transformation. Figure 2 Collection, decomposition, and processing of algal biomass into agricultural products. This is a view of the working principle of a closed-loop system and method for its transformation. 15 Explanation of references: NO PART NAME 1 water extraction unit 20 2 pump systems 3 sedimentation tanks 4 mixing systems natural flocculant unit 6 filtering units 25 7 water recovery units 8 clean water outlets 9 algae biomass collection units drying unit 11 fermentation units 30 12 pelletizing units 3 13 mobile platforms 14 control panels The invention involves the collection, decomposition, and processing of algal biomass into agricultural products.
