Abstract
A device and method for processing an algae medium containing algae microorganisms to produce algal oil and by-products thereof. The method comprises pumping the algae medium through a flow-through hydrodynamic cavitation device, generating localized zones of reduced fluid pressure, creating cavitational features in the algae medium, collapsing those cavitation features, and disintegrating cell walls and intracellular organelles to produce algal oil and by-products.
