A team at the University of Kansas has demonstrated the feasibility of an integrated wastewater algae-to-biocrude process using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) that can sustainably cultivate algal biomass for biofuel production. HTL uses subcritical water as the chemical driving force to convert biomass to a carbon-rich biocrude.

Results of a 14-week study by Rice University researchers suggest that algae monocultures for biofuel feedstock can be grown in open tank bioreactors using municipal wastewater as a nutrient source. For instance, the algae in the Rice study was four times more effective at removing phosphorous than were the algae in a Kansas study.
