Abstract
⺠Rheological properties of three algae species are reported as a function of biomass concentration. ⺠The slurries are modeled as power law fluids. ⺠At concentrations larger than 60 kg/m3 green algae species behaved as shear thinning fluids. ⺠Diatom species behaved as a Newtonian fluid for all concentrations up to 80 kg/m3. ⺠Limitations on pumping and dewatering processes are identified based on rheological properties.
