The waste grown algal biomass may not be suitable for use as animal feed.
However, there has been increased interest in using algae for biodiesel production (Huang et al., 2010).
Moreover the amount of lipids in chlorophyta may be raised up to 45% of dry weight by stress or nutrient starvation (Hu
et al., 2008).
Using the current treatment design employed by the factory, the coloured wastewater is not suitable for final discharge.
The treatment system employing this algal design will be useful to decolorize and detoxify the textile industrial WE before discharge and algal biomass can be analyzed for lipid contents for further use in biofuel production.
