摘要

Fracking systems for natural gas and oil extraction require and produce large volumes of wastewater ("produced water"), which can be highly saline, such as in the Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas. Treatment of such waters for reuse and disposal is a major challenge. Simultaneously, the biofuel production from algal lipids (or total algal biomass) has potential as a renewable energy source, but water demands can be high, particularly in arid regions. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate suitability of highly saline produced water for algal growth and lipid production, including (1) a polyculture obtained from a saline produced water pond and (2) an algal isolate (Dunaliella tertiolecta) known to grow well in saline waters, with salinity and nutrient concentrations as experimental variables. 23s rRNA gene sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq system determined the polyculture was composed primarily of Parachlorella kessleri and Cyanobacterium aponinum. The polyculture growth was greatest (approximately 50 mg ash free dry weight, VSS/(L*d) at salinities from 15 to 60 g TDS/L and was greatly inhibited at higher salinities. D. tertiolecta exhibited a consistent growth of 17 mg VSS/(L*d) from 30 to 120 g TDS/L and lower growth rates up to 210 g TDS/L. The salinity tolerance of each culture would allow it to be cultivated in hypersaline PW, which as of yet, has found few other uses. Both the polyculture and D. tertiolecta displayed the highest growth in hypersaline media with initial nutrient concentrations of 13 mg NH4-N/L and 1.7 mg PO4-P/L. The polyculture had the highest lipid productivity in 60 g TDS/L PW with phosphorus limitation of conditions tested. Nutrient limitation was not an effective way to increase lipid content for D. tertiolecta. These results demonstrated the potential for algal growth in saline and hypersaline produced waters and identified conditions to improve growth rates. Future work may focus on treatment of the wastewaters for potential reuse.
