Abstract
⺠A submerged microfiltration membrane was applied for harvesting Chlorella vulgaris and Phaeodactylum tricornutum broth. ⺠The effect of algal species, up-concentration level and membrane fouling were studied and a cost estimation was performed. ⺠Both algal broths have a comparable filterability. ⺠The filterability of algal broths was function of up-concentration and membrane properties. ⺠The cost estimation shows the promising prospect of proposed filtration-centrifugation process.
