Abstract: The objective of the study was the pilot plant examination of a newly developed integrated process for autotrophic cultivation of useful micro-algae. The process utilizes waste carbon dioxide as a source of carbon and yields simultaneously products that can be utilized in food and cosmetic industries, turned into biodiesel and/or used as a supplement in animal feed. At present, the cultivation of micro-algae merely for the production of biofuels is not economically viable. In the proposed process, the economy is improved by complex utilization of the micro-algae for simultaneous integrated manufacturing of several products that may be priced at different levels. In this way, the overall economy of the process is positive.
