 Topic Algal powder workshop design with annual output of 400
tons in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
The basis of topic selection and research significance
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is rich in protein, polysaccharide and
unsaturated fatty acid, which has high nutritional value and safe to
eat. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has high research value in daily life
and experimental research. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii powder is a
natural, nutritious, green and healthy raw material, which can be used
as a substitute for protein powder, and has the effect of assisting in
reducing blood sugar and improving immunity. The powder concoction
food is booming, and the powder food is convenient, fast and
nutritious, which is favored by consumers. Therefore, the factory
design is carried out for the drying and milling process of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Literature review （ Comprehensive introduction and evaluation of
existing representative research results）
Chlamydomonas rhinale powder is a type of seaweed powder, which is
made from marine natural seaweed through fermentation, purification,
and fine processing. It has high commercial value and is rich in
polysaccharides, protein, cellulose, vitamins, and various trace
elements. At the same time, it has shown the role of assisting in
reducing blood sugar and improving immunity. Chlamydomonas rhizae
powder is increasingly favored by the market due to its advantages of
nutrition, delicacy, and portability. Not only has it achieved
efficient utilization of resources, but also created a marine green
economy with good social and environmental benefits. Therefore, the
design of a factory with an annual output of 400 tons of Chlamydomonas
rhizae powder can provide a reference for the future production of
this product.
According to six factors: geographical location and surrounding
facilities, natural environment, regional economy and policies, raw
materials and markets, water energy and transportation, environmental
protection engineering, and three wastes treatment, select an address
that meets the requirements for plant construction.
At present, although there are some products related to
Chlamydomonas rhizae on the market, Chlamydomonas rhizae powder has
the characteristics of both leisure food and health food, and has a
larger consumer group. The design plans for a 400 t/a collagen peptide
solid beverage factory. The construction scale of the factory is
designed according to the scale of small and medium-sized food
factories, and the production requirements of solid powder factories
are strictly followed to ensure the quality and safety of products.
The product is expected to fill the market gap, with broad development
prospects, and the overall feasibility of factory construction is
strong. Reasonably arrange the production schedule based on various
environmental and economic factors such as raw materials and
transportation, adjust personnel allocation and raw material
procurement under the premise of ensuring qualified product quality
and sufficient production capacity, and balance labor and production
capacity based on market demand and seasonal impact of raw materials
to achieve better economic benefits for the company. In addition,
energy conservation and environmental protection of factories and
"three wastes" emissions must also be paid attention to.
The equipment selection shall follow the principles of
applicability, progressiveness and rationality. Firstly, the
production equipment is required to be suitable to ensure product
quality, meet production requirements, and meet production scale
requirements; Secondly, it is necessary to improve process efficiency
while improving product quality, so as to achieve the pursuit of
higher indicators.
Research contents （ Including the basic frame of thinking, main
research methods and so on）
Through graduation design, I am familiar with the process of algae
powder production, and comprehensively consider the plant site
selection, plane design, process design, process calculation,
equipment selection, economic accounting and other aspects, and
finally design a plant with good economic benefits and certain
development prospects, which provides a reference for the industrial
production of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii powder.
