Unified Field Study 3 (UFS-3)

Description

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the third Unified Field Study (UFS-3), performed June to September 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for two different algal strains (Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201) as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain. In UFS-3 we compared the effect on productivity of three harvests per week with multiple dilution rates vs. one harvest per week with one dilution rate using both algal strains. For more information about the UFS experiments see the reference resources 0.0 UFS-1 Experiment OpenEI Wiki Page, 0.1 ATP3 OpenEI Wiki Page, 0.2 Report on the Use of ATP3 UFS Data, and 0.3 ATP3 UFS Journal Article below.
