Once the robot detects that it has reached its capacity on cyanobacterial storage, it can return to a designated port area and receive maintenance to collect the algae. This is inevitable as the algae will need to be stored and processed offsite for the robot to work sustainably. From the, the biomass will be collected into barrels and delivered to processing facilities. In these facilities, the algae will undergo a process called ‘acute supercritical heating’: a nozzle shoots a jet of water into the barrels at very high pressure and speed, consequently separating oil from the algae through bubbling and cavitation. This oil is formed from the process itself rather than the algae, and therefore we can collect the leftover water and nutrients from the algal mass to help nurture other organisms in the originating body of water. This alkane-based oil, which is one of the most desirable forms of biofuel, can be sold to offset the costs. We have chosen this method of biofuel extraction because it is relatively production-efficient and produces a biofuel that can be sold into industries such as aviation and used in current infrastructure and engines originally made for fossil fuels. Additionally, the fuel produced from the algae meets specifications for biodiesel.
