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. ...
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 ...
The biggest hurdles for inhouse algae production in the aquaculture industry are the high costs, the labour intensiveness, and the complexity of maintaining healthy algae cultures. ...
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"). ...

We are currently cultivation microalgae species such as Haematococcus Pluvialis and Auxenochlorella protothecoides. Please read more about these microalgaes in our product page for the BioAlgae-unit. Our goal is to produce microalgaes for new valuable food products, such as fish- and animal feed ingredients or ...
BUCHI Mini Spray Dryer B-290: Yield and total yield determination in spray dried microalgaes Recently, microalgal biomass has been recognized as a promising alternative source of raw material for biofuel production. Algal biomass has several advantages that may help to meet the need for the global demand of transport fuels, such as rapid growth rate, high lipid ...

Water recycling is an effective way to reduce water consumption in the industrialization of microalgae-based biomass/bioenergy production. The soluble algal products (SAP) which inhibit the microalgae growth will accumulate in the recycled water. ...
Using microalgae for synchronous biodiesel production and wastewater treatment is a promising technology. The growth, lipid accumulation and nutrient uptake characteristics of an oleaginous microalga Chlorella sp. HQ were evaluated at different initial pH from 5.0 to 11.0. ...
Some species of microalgae have high productivity and lipid content, which makes them good candidates for biodiesel production. Biomass separation and cell disruption are important steps in biodiesel production from microalgae. In this work, we explored the fundamentals of electroflotation by alternating ...
Several obstacles and limitations currently prevent the industrial exploitation of microalgae for feed, food and biofuel production. Photobioreactors (closed systems for algae cultivation) suffer from high-energy expenditures for mixing and cooling, while cultures in large-scale open ponds, which have a more favorable net energy ratio, are unstable ecosystems in ...
Vinasse is a residue produced in large quantities as a sub-product of ethanol production. Anaerobic digestion of vinasse can yield large amounts of biogas, but often difficulties arise in maintaining stable operation, due to the acidity of the material (which has a pH between 3.5 and 5) and a strong tendency to further acidification. Anaerobically digested ...
In the Albufera (València) region of Spain, rice has been farmed for nearly 500 years. Post-harvest flooding of rice fields has become an integral element of wetland refuge for migratory birds. The steady rise in the cost of purchased inputs is causing considerable economic stress to the viability of rice farming in this region. In 2011, it has been estimated the cost of purchased diesel ...
This project will demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of an integrated process for the production of microalgal oils that are suitable as a feedstock for biodiesel production. A preliminary economic feasibility study and assessment of total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) would be carried out based on the results of small-scale studies and, if successful, would be followed by a ...
