The present invention relates to a system for cultivation of algae, extraction of lipids and transesterification of the lipids to obtain biodiesel. The system comprises three sections, that is to say cultivation, extraction and storage and reaction. In the lipid extraction area there is an ultrasonic reactor wherein the external walls of the alga are ruptured together with those of the oil sac to permit the extraction of lipids in the transesterification area there is also an ultrasonic reactor which ruptures the molecules of the fluid which passes therethrough to accelerate the reaction and render it almost immediate.

La presente invención se refiere a un sistema para el crecimiento del alga, extracción de lípidos y transesterificación de los lípidos para obtener biodiesel. El sistema comprende tres secciones que son crecimiento, extracción y almacenamiento y reacción. En el área de extracción de lípidos se cuenta con un reactor de ultrasonido donde se rompen las paredes externas del alga así como las del saco de aceite para permitir Ia extracción de los lípidos, en el área de transesterificación se cuenta igualmente con un reactor de ultrasonido que rompe las moléculas del fluido que pasa a través de el para acelera Ia reacción y hacerla casi inmediata.
