1. MULTIREFLECTOR LIGHT PENETRATOR
NEW DESIGN OF LIGHT PENETRATOR
FOR MASS PRODUCTION MICROALGAE
AS THE BEST MATERIAL
FOR BIOFUELAND FEED
By
AJI SUBAKTI

2. SUPERIORITY OF MICROALGAE
PRODUCTIVITY
 The fastest growing plant in the world (Alltech 2013)
 Absorb CO2 more efectively than terestrial plant
(CORDIS 2013)
 Can tolerate organic polluted water (Raoul et al. 2012)
 Culture it is not compete with human food production
(Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources 2008)

3. SUPERIORITY OF MICROALGAE
AS BIOFUEL MATERIAL
Oil Production Comparison
Material Litre per Hectare per Year
Soybean 370
Casava 1.184
Palm Oil 4.440
Microalgae 14.800
Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources 2008

4. MICROALGAE SUPERIORITY
AS FEED MATERIAL
Contain 39-71% of protein (Algae for Feed 2010)
Digestability up to 83-95% (Tefera 2009)
Adding imunity (Maryland University 2011)
Contain carotenoid & astaxhantin
(Cyanotech 2013)
Contain Omega 3 if it grow in sea water
(Adams 2009)

5. Mass Produced Comparison

6. NUTRITIONAL FACT COMPARISON (%)
Material Protein Carbohidrat Fat
Microalgae
Spirulina .sp 46-70 8-14 20-45
Chlorella .sp 51-58 12-17 14-22
Fish Meal 55-65 4-7 4-15
Soybean 35-46 47 6,3
Corn 7-8 73 4,4
Data is processed from variable resources

7. Microalga is a good candidate
for replacing fish meal and fish
oil as essential material for feed
but unsustainable
(Henry 2012)

8. MICROALGAE ONLY WEAKNESS
EXPENSIVE

9. ALGAE POND
ALGAE POND WEAKNESS,
THAT CAUSED MICROALGAE BECOME EXPENSIVE
-Acomodating microalgae growth only down to 20cm
-Environment effect is huge
-Need lot of energy for air, CO2 supply and
water agitator

10. ALGAE POND
Sun Chlorella Corp. (Japan)

11. Earthrise (California, US)

12. Cyanotech (Hawaii, US)

13. ALGAEBIOREACTOR
ALGAEBIOREACTOR WEAKNESS,
THAT CAUSED MICROALGAE EXPENSIVE
-Infrastructure cost is highly expensive
-Need sophisticated technology back up and well
trained employee
-Need lot of energy for air, CO2 supply and
water agitator

14. ALGABIOREAKTOR
Sapphire Energy (San Diego, US)

15. Valcent Product (El Paso, US)

16. Solix Biofuel (Colorado, US)

17. Production cost of microalgae
based biodiesel still need
significantly reduced
so it can be competitive
with other material sources
(Suprihatin 2011)

18. MULTIREFLECTOR LIGHT PENETRATOR

19. MULTIREFLECTOR
LIGHT PENETRATOR
• Accomodating the growth of microalgae
down to 2meter
• Using only aerator for air suply and water
agitator, far more efficient energy

20. POSITION DESIGN FOR MORE MASS PRODUCED
MICROALGAE

21. MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER
MICROALGAE AS BIOFUEL
•PERTAMINA
President instruction no. 1/2006,
President rules no. 5/2006.
-Using Biofuel as much 5% national mix
energy by 2025
-By 2010 consumption up to 2%
-National demand of biofuel up to
6-7% per year

22. •CHEVRON
3,8 billion dollar investation by year 2002 up
to 2009 for renewable and energy efficiency
including biofuel (Markey 2010)
MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER
MICROALGAE AS BIOFUEL

23. • EXXON MOBIL. 600 million dollar investation
by year 2009 up to 2019 for microalgae
research as biofuel (New York Times 2009)
• Globaly 50 microalgae development company
for biofuel (34 in US) (Wikipedia 2013)
MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER
MICROALGAE AS BIOFUEL

24. • Global trend for ‘vegetarian fish’
(Le Boucher 2012, Lowe 2013)
• Salmon and trout farmers that buy krill
(Euphausia) as red color and omega 3 aditive
(Aquadirect 2013, Wikipedia 2013)
MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER
MICROALGAE AS FEED

25. • Egg producer with demand their eggyolk red
coloured (FAO 2003)
• Egg producer with Omega 3 suplement as
brand product (Pickering 2003)
• Organic product from farm and fisheries
producer
MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER
MICROALGAE AS FEED

26. • Medical medicine for human especially
natural astaxanthin (Capelli et al. 2013)
• Food suplement for human (Kay et al. 2009)
• Feed suplement (Fannin 2013, Ali et al. 2012)
MARKET POTENTION FOR CHEAPER MICROALGAE AS
NATURAL DRUG AND SUPLEMENT
