Abstract
A novel continuous flow turbo-thin film device (T2FD) has been developed. The microfluidic platform is effective in high yielding production of biodiesel from wet microalgae at room temperature under continuous flow conditions. These findings open the possibility of cost effective production of biodiesel directly from wet microalgae.
