This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project proposes to develop, as a pilot, a highly efficient, high throughput, and compact continuous flow structured catalyst fixed-bed reactor unit for cost-effective algae biodiesel production. Successful establishment of the technical feasibility of the integrated fixed-bed technology for algae biodiesel production will be a step forward in addressing the high capital costs, high production costs, and waste stream produced by using a traditional homogeneous alkali-catalyzed biodiesel production process. It will further demonstrate the commercial viability of the technology.The broader/commercial impact of the proposed project will be economic biodiesel production using algae oil as feedstock, leading to the substitution of petroleum diesel with domestically produced alternative fuel, the reduction of diesel emissions and waste stream generation, the mitigation of global warming, creation of jobs, and the reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign oil imports. Algae biodiesel has the potential to provide a breakthrough solution to both energy security and global warming concerns.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目提出，作为试点，开发一种高效，高通量，紧凑的连续流结构催化剂固定床反应器单元，用于经济高效的藻类生物柴油生产。 成功建立用于藻类生物柴油生产的集成固定床技术的技术可行性将是解决高资本成本、高生产成本和使用传统均相碱催化生物柴油生产工艺产生的废物流的一个进步。 拟议项目的更广泛/商业影响将是以海藻油为原料生产经济的生物柴油，从而用国内生产的替代燃料取代石油柴油，减少柴油排放和废物流的产生，减缓全球变暖，创造就业机会，减少美国对外国石油进口的依赖。 藻类生物柴油有可能为能源安全和全球变暖问题提供突破性的解决方案。
