What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to designing and operating efficient microalgae processes for biofuels, food ingredients, and cosmetics. It covers how product goals influence strain selection, operating conditions, and cultivation systems, plus harvesting, extraction, quality control, risk management, sustainability, and basic techno-economics to scale from lab to pilot effectively.
