Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for processing algae. The method and apparatus is particularly advantageous in harvesting wild algae. A method of harvesting and preprocessing wild algae offshore is provided. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the alga is harvested from a dead zone in the ocean and processed offshore on a ship and/or an oil platform. The preprocessing step can include, for example, the steps of separating the target algae from the harvested material, drying the algae, and/or milling the algae. The algae can be further processed on or offshore. In some embodiments, the algae is washed to decrease the mineral content, and subsequently mixed with other edible materials to result in animal feed. In another embodiment, the algae are converted into fertilizer or fuel.
