Biomass Recovery - The general approaches for the recovery of biomass are as follows:

(i) bacteria flocculation and floatation combined with centrifugation,
(ii) yeast centrifugation,
(iii) filamentous organisms filtration.

It is important to reduce water as much as possible to reduce drying costs. Sun drying is cheap but it reduces the quality of SCP. Since recovery processes are not done under sterile conditions, adequate hygiene must be maintained and care should be taken to prevent growth of undesirable microorganisms.
