This document is a compilation of Best Practice recommendations and considerations employed by
the EnAlgae microalgal pilot facilities. EnAlgae was a four year Strategic Initiative of INTERREG IVB
North West Europe programme. One of the outputs of the EnAlgae project was the development of
an integrated network of pilot plants for growing microalgae. An important part of this activity was an
exchange of information on optimal pilot operation both with respect to best practices and Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs; documented elsewhere).
Best Practices (including recommendations and considerations) are presented for siting a pilot plant;
microalgae cultivation (including strain selection, preparation, maintenance and automation of production
systems, nutrient sources and addition); harvesting microalgae biomass and biomass valorization. In
addition, detailed technical descriptions of the different pilots and the hardware/software they use in
operation have been provided. Th.....
