Abstract

In this work, a viability study of algal wastewater treatment projects under outdoor conditions is proposed. The viability analysis of solar plant projects based on annual exceedance probability, which is the probability that a certain energy value will be exceeded, is applied. The two outputs used (algal productivity and ammonium uptake rate) are obtained from literature models under different scenarios. The first scenario studies algal productivity of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris cultivation in an open pond system. The second scenario considers the ammonium uptake rate of the microalgae Scenedesmus sp. Cultivation in a flat-plate photobioreactor. Both scenarios are set out under outdoor conditions in two stations with different climates.
