"Building Open Ponds" Has Arrived...Get It Here.

Once again, David Sieg has composed and excellent guide, this time focusing on open ponds for growing algae, whether for fuel, food, animal feed, fertilizer, or even cosmetics. He covers the range from home use to large-scale commercial systems, from a distributed and survival perspective; yet practical enough for modern implementation -- a hallmark of true sustainable principles. We'll be consulting this guide in the Safe Haven Villages (.org) intention community I'm involved with. In a day when central authority is growing more tenuous, the ability to do things in a distributed model is growing increasingly vital; and it just makes more sense from a seventh-generation sustainability point of view, while still being profitable in today's economy. In fact you might consider this as a career that will not only survive the downturn, but help you and many others make it through the worst of times to come; all while pioneering a future industry.

Hi David,
Yes it does make sense and is very clear. I am a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering specialized in chemical and biochemical reactors, I have over 400 papers, 4 patents and 4 books...I like your simple books to the ordinary person

David really knows what he’s talking about when it comes to biodiesel. And his new book “Building Open Ponds” shows it... it’s 157 pages jam packed with tons of great information from growing algae in an old bathtub to large scale algae farms. Great details and pictures to make it as easy as pie even for the novice. David really goes the whole nine yards when he writes a book!

David,
This is a great book on how to make algae biodiesel using ponds. People around the world contact us all the time about creating renewable energy using algae. This book makes it possible for them to do so in their own back yard. Great job!

I can't say enough about the quality information you have presented here and the fact that I can visualize making any one of the systems from the information you have given me in the book is a powerful motivator.

Hi David,

Thanks for letting me know about your amazing new release, "Building Open Ponds" with me. I just finished reading thru it & thought it was fantastic!

Your presentation of the great variety of uses for the algae that anyone can grow themselves was excellent. In additional to detailing all the factors to consider & how to set up different sized open pond systems, you provide some great info on many other important aspects, including harvesting & de-watering steps.

Thanks also for including Ron Putt's feasibility study in your Bonus Materials -- it's another great source of valuable information. As you know, my organization, Terra Endeavors, is in the process of setting up small-to-moderate sized, commercial scale open-pond systems to provide rural communities in developing countries many of the algae-derived benefits you detail -- nutritional supplements to fight malnutrition & for export revenue, bio ethanol, high-protein animal feed & organic fertilizer. This book will be instrumental in helping us design & operate the best system possible!

I highly recommend Building Open Ponds to everyone with an interest in anything algae related!

Best regards,

The book details facts about the forgotten fields of organic fertilizer, healthy natural foods, and above all an insight on how to become an entrepreneur. Am a graduate of Biochemistry in Kenya and i find your books so resourceful as i am also working on a project of starting a nutritional magazine as there is none in the Kenyan market.

I try to start research about domestic algae utilisation for biodiesel production in Bosnia. I need any useful information and I think that I'll find a lot of them in this book.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for letting me be on your site. I'm just now getting into making biodiesel from WVO and know I will soon need to expand into something better. I think you have the answer. Thank you for letting be soon be a part of the solution for self reliance. I will purchase your information just as soon as possible to raise the funds. I am totally disabled with limited resources and must be careful with every purchase I make in these trying times. God Bless you and your family for making this available, your information just might save many people's lives.

Thank you again, I will contact you as soon as I possibly can.

Loved your Bioreactors book, can't wait to see what this one has in store for us.

I admire your vision on Bio diesel

We are working in Colombia in the cultivation of algae for Spiruline production. This is a very interesting document for us

Jaime Torres

need all this info for a project i want to do in Africa for the benefit of the people there

Tom Carnaffin

a most interesting concept of improving this part of algae's benefits to the world's fuels

I love your books!

 Interesting how the bio-diesel think morphed into algae growing. Great information.
