The Drive Towards Scalable and Efficient Algae Production Producing algae as a commodity for feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, carotenoids, and pigments calls for expansive setups. Executing this production at scale and making this economical, vast installations like raceway ponds or extensive tubular systems are required. However, the efficiency of these systems hinges on a critical ...
The Varicon Aqua team have recently returned from Finland, where we are pleased to have installed a top of the range Phyco-Flow System for the University of Helsinki. ...
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 ...
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, ...
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. Developed from concept to commission and ...
The choice of preferable harvesting technology depends on algae species, growth medium, algae production, end product, and production cost benefit. Harvesting is defined as the separation of algae from a growing medium. ...
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. Though the actual growth rates and intensities for different points in this curve will vary depending on many factors the general shape is consistent ...
Microalgae need light to grow and photosynthesize, but not all light is created equal. The spectrum of light can have a big impact on how well your algae grows. The spectrum of a light is how bright it is at different wavelengths. This can be closely related to colour, e.g. a red LED looks red because it is emitting light with a wavelength of 650 nm. However, differences in light spectra can ...
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. They are united by their small size (1 – 100 µm for ...
Algae are not new in the aquaculture sector. In fact, algae are in many cases indispensable for the success of the aquaculture industry. 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. Traditionally, hatcheries have been using big plastic bag type systems and bubble ...
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 ...
Exciting to see how we can make organic hydroponic fertilizers from brewery and aquaculture sidestreams. The goal is to use these sidestreams as organic fertilizers that will be used in hydroponic systems as well for microalgae cultivation. ...
This work evaluates the use of native microalgae consortia for a dual role: polishing treatment of municipal wastewater effluents and microalgae biomass feedstock potential for biodiesel or biofertilizer production. An initial screening was undertaken to test N and P removal from secondary effluents and biomass ...
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 ...

The bioprospecting of potentially mixotrophic microalgae in a constructed wetland was conducted. A locally isolated microalga, Chlorella sp., was grown to determine the effect of temperature, aeration rate, and cultivation time on simultaneous biomass production and nutrient removal from piggery wastewater using central ...
The effect of chemical coagulation and biological auto-flocculation relative to zeta potential was examined to compare flotation and sedimentation separation processes for algae harvesting. Experiments revealed that microalgae separation is related to auto-flocculation of Anabaena spp. and requires chemical coagulation for the whole period of microalgae cultivation. In addition, microalgae ...
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. ...
