Algae Collection Machines
Collecting seaweed has two objectives: to enhance a natural resource while cleaning the beaches. Since 2010, THOMSEA has been developing a range of algae collection machines by suction called ALGACLEAN in partnership with CDO Innov. It allows the collection of algae in large quantities (red, green or brown) suspended in the water, or already washed up on the beach. The solution integrates a washer to desalinate them and completely remove the sand. The role of OLMIX, a major partner of THOMSEA, is precisely to transform these algae into natural products that are effective in the field of animal, plant and human health.
By using OLMIX natural products, breeders and farmers avoid preventive antibiotic treatments for their animals, significantly reducing the need for phytosanitary treatments for their crops, thus contributing to a healthier human diet.
By reducing the need for chemical and industrial products, we are also protecting our environment sustainably. Algae is also a key ingredient in several pharmaceutical products. Red algae (Solieria Chordalys) from Sion (Vendée), for example, is used in the composition of a treatment tested against leukemia.
Protecting the environment through the environment, and protecting ourselves, is now possible with the contribution of THOMSEA.
