Rowan University proposes to use federal funds to conduct a feasibility study to determine the overall effectiveness of the use of hollow fiber membranes for delivery of carbon dioxide for algae growth and to conduct electricity. This project will take place at Rowan University for initial studies, and then bench/pilot scale work will take place at Garden State Ethanol Incorporated and Algaedyne Corporation. Research will be conducted for algae growth studies using membrane technology as well as energy and life cycle assessment studies. The algae for this project will come from a private vendor.
