( Design of a Small–Scale Biodiesel Production System Jeffrey Anderson‚ Jessica Caceres‚ Ali Khazaei‚ Jedidiah Shirey Abstract – The city of Fredericksburg is located in central Virginia and is home to 592 farms covering 16% of the total land area. Farms in this region have experienced declining profits from an average of $555 per farm in 1997 to -$14‚931 per farm in 2007. One of the ways to reduce operating costs and return to profitability is to significantly reduce diesel costs. An alternative

1.0 TITLE Extraction of Phenol and Flavanoid compound of the edible brown seaweed species (Eucheuma Cottonii). 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 An overview of Seaweed Macro-algae or “seaweeds” are multicellular plants growing in salt or fresh water. They belong to the lower plants‚ meaning that they do not have roots‚ stems and leaves. Instead they are composed of a thallus (leaf-like) and sometimes a stem and a foot (holdfast). Some species have gas-filled structures to provide buoyancy. They are often
