directly further processed in the algae biorefinery module on the central platform.
A flow model of the entire algae aquaculture production and processing is shown in
Fig. 12.9.
In total, considering all 30 satellite units of the Green & Blue scenario, the
annual production capacity of the facility was estimated with 1950 t/year (dry
weight) (Tables 12.2 and 12.3).
