Liqoflux - Algae Pre-Concentration Systems
We know the challenges in the algae downstream process and the requirements for the (pre-) concentration of algae cultures. The Liqoflux Algae Pre-Concentration System and Liqocap filters are specially designed and built for the algae industry. Algae processing is a tough process for membranes. Normally UF filters show initial good performance but after a few weeks/months drop significant in flux and/or increasing fibres breakage. With our membranes we show consistent performance at clients and have a 1 year guarantee on leakage (broken fibers), which is unique in the industry! Recently we also introduced a new pilot membrane solution for very fragile algae.
We selected innovative membranes for the Liqoflux Algae Pre-Concentration System
-
The Algae Pre-Concentration System separates the algae culture into a concentrate containing all the algae cells and clean effluent water, free from algae and bacteria. The clean water is ready for recycling to your algae production system.
-
The innovative membrane properties result in a stable flux and minimal fouling.
-
The smooth structure of the membranes and the well designed flow in the Algae Pre-Concentration System prevents algae from damaging and keeps the algae-cells fully intact.
-
100% separation and concentration of the algae biomass, no loss of algae.
The Algae Pre-Concentration System is a containerized, plug-and-play solution
-
We deliver standard containerized units for processing up to 80 m3/h of algae culture.
-
The operation of the Algae Pre-Concentration System is fully automatic and PLC controlled.
-
The concentration factor is adjustable to your specific requirements.
-
The Algae Pre-Concentration System is suitable for food-grade and both fresh and marine water applications.
The cost per m3 clean water produced from the algae culture is best in class
-
Due to the low investment costs and low energy requirements you optimize the algae harvesting costs.
-
With the Liqoflux 2-step harvesting approach the investment in harvesting equipment, yearly Capex & Opex and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per kg dry weight algae are reduced by 50-75%
