Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de culture de micro-algues qui comprend la mise en oeuvre d'une culture hétérotrophe ou d'une culture photohétérotrophe d'une micro-algue dans les conditions d'obscurité pour la micro-algue en présence d'une source de carbone organique dans un liquide qui contient au moins un liquide résiduel obtenu après la collecte de l'éthanol d'une liqueur de fermentation produite par la fermentation alcoolique d'une biomasse dans le procédé de production de bioéthanol. Elle porte aussi sur un procédé de traitement de l'eau de drainage, pour éliminer une substance organique contenue dans l'eau de drainage, qui comprend la mise en oeuvre d'une culture hétérotrophe ou d'une culture photohétérotrophe d'une micro-algue dans des conditions d'obscurité pour la micro-algue en présence d'une source de carbone organique dans un liquide qui contient un liquide résiduel de distillation produit dans le procédé de production de bioéthanol, en permettant de ce fait à une substance organique contenue dans le liquide résiduel de distillation d'être consommée par la micro-algue.
