Fotosintetica - Open Ponds

In collaboration with RECORD (Firenze, Italy) and Microalgae Camporosso (Imperia, Italy) F&M has developed the innovative pond design: F&M-RWP. The main improvement respect to traditional raceway ponds is the reduction of water depth to about 5 cm that allows to reach higher biomass concentrations and higher volumetric productivities with a significant reduction in harvesting, operation costs and possible contamination. F&M design customized F&M-RWP up to 1500 m² and commercializes smaller units (5 – 20 m²) for research purpose. Smaller units are provided with paddle wheel, control systems and are ready to be installed at the clients site.
