Researchers are increasingly interested in the fatty acid composition of crops and microalgae to improve yield, oil quality, and stress resistance. As the demand for bio-based solutions rises, precise measurement of fatty acids becomes a cornerstone of innovation in food security, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture. ...
Our PBRs not only save the labour labor challenges associated with lab-scale microalgae cultivation, but also enhance the biosecurity of the process. ...
We recently installed 4 x 70L capacity Phyco-Lift, airlift photobioreactors utilisng Schott Glass components. Incorporating a full suite of controls with data acquisition and controllable, dimmable LED lighting, sterile dry air drives the systems with CO2 injection for pH control. Simple elegant research tools capable of producing a very wide array of micro algae, diatoms and ...
Researchers will use the tubular photobioreactor, situated on the Lahti campus (Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences), to cultivate microalgae in support of their on-going projects. One such project, Algae Factory, funded by Business Finland, focuses on producing microalgal biomass using nutrient rich side streams. The project targets production of biomass, which will ...
We are pleased to announce the latest installation of a 2750 L Phyco-Flow system for Grupo Fagro at their new Micro Algae Technology Development Unit, Biorganix in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico in conjunction with Novel Agricultural Bioactives from Microalgae (NAMBA) initiative. Our Phyco-Flow tubular photo-bioreactor will be used to cultivate microalgae species for the ...
We are pleased to announce another collaboration with the University of Technology, Sydney for the VIVID Lights, Music and Ideas Festival. Following the previous installation of a Phyco-Flow system at UTS (read more here https://bit.ly/2Lzrhpc), we worked with the team to design and develop a bespoke vertical bubble column system for an exciting interactive experience at the ...
Another Phyco-Flow consignment packed and ready for a sea freight journey to Japan, this is for a long-established customer adding to their existing suite of Phyco’s. These PBRs will be located in a new purpose-built facility dedicated to micro algae ...
Varicon Aqua & Academic Collaboration Varicon Aqua has been involved with many academic and professional research institutions over the years, adapting our developmental processes to the fast paced and dynamic aims of the research community. Each project is specific and bespoke, providing a range of challenges to our design team. Many of these design innovations find their way into the next ...
Varicon Aqua’s latest project is up and running in Hong Kong, with the installation led in person by our Managing Director, Joe McDonald. The client, Geb Impact Technology Company Limited, will be using two of our reactor systems, the Phyco-Lift and the Phyco-Pyxis, the latest in our range of innovative products. Geb Impact and Varicon Aqua have enjoyed a long professional relationship, ...
Algae Bulgaria is a company founded by a young team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about the potential of microalgae within the nutraceutical markets (https://spirulina.bg/). They cultivate Spirulina and sell the biomass as a fresh paste food supplement, making their proposition considerably different from the dried alternatives found in most health food stores. ...
This Phyco-Flow is the most recent example of our multi photo-stage photobioreactor, designed specifically for industrial scale production of microalgae. The system incorporates full process control, with data acquisition and remote access alongside integration of upstream and downstream processes. ...
Completed in March this year, our 1st project in Thailand. 3 x 2000 L Phyco Flow tubular PBRs. A purpose-built R&D unit for production of various micro algae species. Ultimately focusing on high value food, feed and nutraceutical products. A tough build given the extremely hot and humid conditions, though greatly eased with the help of local engineers to whom we are indebted. We also thank ...
Biofilms are taken into consideration as precise great protein supply (23-30%). Microalgae and heterotrophic micro organism are wealthy supply of immune enhancers, increase promoters, bioactive compounds and nutritional stimulants that may decorate increase overall performance of cultured organism. ...
Algae produce about 70% of the oxygen in the atmosphere, and they can be mainly classified as microalgae and macroalgae. What Can Algae Do? Single-celled microscopic algae are called microalgae and multicellular filamentous, membranous, tubular, or foliar plants are called macroalgae, which are autotrophic oxygen-releasing plants. ...
Microalgae Growth – Light Intensity If light is one of the key ingredients in photosynthesis, will more light always generate more productivity? Not exactly. Microalgae growth tends to have a consistent relationship with light intensity. ...
Microalgae need light to grow and photosynthesize, but not all light is created equal. ...
Growing microalgae can seem complicated because there are so many factors that need to be just right for a successful algae culture. In this article we are going to briefly explain some of these factors and why they are important. Microalgae are an evolutionarily diverse group of organisms that come in many colours and shapes. ...
The use of these systems has shown to be very expensive and not very efficient in terms of microalgae production.The costs of algae production can therefore mount up to one third of the total hatchery costs. ...
Photosynthesis is undoubtedly one of the most important physiological processes on Earth. It is the process by which plants, algae, and bacteria produce food. Photosynthesis makes these organisms the primary producers of the earth, as all other organisms feed on them for their energy source. People depend on this important process for most of their needs: food, fiber, fuel, timber, etc. Also, ...
Algatech, a global innovative leader in the development, cultivation and commercialisation of microalgae-derived ingredients, has licensed the rights and intellectual property related to the production of p-1,3-glucan from microalgae Euglena gracilis from US biotechnology company F3 Platform Biologies ("F3"). ...
