Chemists at United Environment and Energy LLC have developed an energy-efficient, high throughput continuous flow fixed-bed reactor technology for cost-effective algae oil biodiesel production. A related benefit from the use of the solid catalyst is that there is no wastewater produced to cause pollution.
