Cellana Inc. products

As one of the most productive and sustainable crops, marine microalgae can be used as a feedstock for a variety of products, including Cellana’s ReNew™ line of Omega-3 EPA and DHA nutritional oils, food/animal feed, and biofuel feedstocks. At Cellana our goal is to leverage our proprietary technology to economically produce the highest quality algae feedstock to produce the highest quality products.

Algae Enhance the Nutritional Value of Animal Feed and Provide an Alternative Protein Feed Source. As the demand for protein increases worldwide, so does the search for sustainable, nutrient dense feed sources and additives. Omega-3 rich algae oil or whole algae containing Omega-3s can be used as efficient and nutritious feed additives. The residual biomass from algae oil processing can also be used as an alternative high-grade protein source for aquaculture and livestock feed. With the advent of Cellana’s novel technology for growing algae, the potential to fill the “protein gap” in animal feed with algae by-products is real and provides economic incentive for technology adoption.

Cellana’s core technology is a photosynthetic production system that economically grows proprietary algae strains at a commercial-scale. The patented production system, called ALDUO™ technology, is unique in that it couples closed-culture photobioreactors with open ponds in a two-stage process. Previous attempts at scaling up algae production have used a photobioreactor or open pond individually, not coupled. Open pond production, which is needed for rapid algae growth, has historically been hampered by the contamination by undesirable algae strains. Photobioreactors by themselves are unable to produce algae at an acceptable rate and would take up too much room to become commercially viable.

Marine Microalgae Hold Great Promise for Tackling the Global Need for Sustainability, Better Health, Energy Security, and Climate Stability. Algae use photosynthesis to efficiently and quickly convert CO₂ and other greenhouse gasses into valuable oils and biomass as feedstocks to produce Omega-3 EPA and DHA oils, animal feed, and biofuels. As the earth’s most productive and sustainable plants, microalgae can double their mass daily with growth rates up to 100 times greater than land plants used to make similar products.
