Customized Microfiltration System – Continuous Process
- Automatic process control system, no manual handling steps
- Process works without flocculation chemicals
- Density of algae slurry after harvest is customizable, usually 100gr/L up to 200gr/L are selected
- Harvested slurry is stored in a buffer-tank for further downstream processing
- Automatic CIP and disinfection system prevents fouling and contaminations of microfilters
- Unit can be customized to client’s processes
- Standard capacities up to 3000L/h, bigger units possible upon request
Industrial Double-Drum Dryer plus Proprietary Automation & Control Package
- Works with algae slurry densities between 80gr/L and 200gr/L
- Cooled slurry feed and superheated drums enable precise product temperature control to preserve critical algae lipids & proteins
- The downstream flake mill yields algae powder either for encapsulation or extraction processes
- The milling process cracks the algae cell walls enabling human consumption even of very sturdy algae species
Process Water Recycling Plant
- Algae growth is massively reduced by metabolic algae products and other residues of the production process
- Recycling the process water needs a meticulous cleaning process to avoid contaminants accumulation
- Our 2-step treatment process solves this problem and sharply reduces freshwater consumption of an algae plant
- Step 1 - a nano-filtration unit eliminates all undissolved solids
- Step 2 - an electro-oxidation cell eliminates organic contaminants
- Freshwater use of a 90m³ algae plant will be less than 1m³ / day of freshwater
