- Internal high-performance LED-System enables optimal and energy–efficient algae growth
- LED cooling system keeps < 58°C to maximize LED life (90% output after 65000 hours or ~ 15 years)
- Algae medium is cooled to below 28°C via heat exchangers; recirculation pumps chosen to minimize sheer forces on algae cells
- Optimized light-tube design enables steady flow of algae medium avoiding biofilm growth on reactor walls and light tubes
- Algae recirculation collar at reactor top cleans the air/water splash area permanently
Bright Sunshine? Perfect!

- Our LCP-System collects sunlight which is transferred by optical fibers into the reactor
- Internal reactor lighting by proprietary light-tubes enabling even light distribution within the reactor
- Optimized light-tube design to avoid biofilm growth on reactor walls and light tubes
- Extremely energy efficient, no external lighting or cooling required
- Recommended for locations with high solar irradiation levels
- Minimal maintenance downtime due to anti-biofilm design of reactor interio
Our latest Innovation!
Algae Production Everywhere
Our latest Innovation!
- Combines the advantages of LED & SOLAR bioreactors
- Solar LCP-power is augmented by LEDs ensuring a constant irradiation level and weather-independent algae production
- Operates from 100% Solar to 100% LED lighting providing maximum photon flux independently from season or weather patterns
- The LED system is activated only at insufficient sunlight levels optimizing energy consumption
- Cooled LEDs installed at inner reactor wall & a central LED-core, sunlight supply via four LCP- light tubes
Our Flagship Reactor System
- Production volume of 5000 L per bioreactor
- GRP reactor shell, reactor bottom with CO2 supply and aeration membrane
- Solar powered by our LCP system, fiber optic cables for light transfer and light-tubes for even internal light distribution
- Automated sample analysis enables truly automatic plant operation
- Base module consists of 3 reactor lines
- 18 Bioreactors provide a production capacity of 90 m³
- Extremely compact footprint of approx. 1300 m²
- Either phototrophic only or photo/mixotrophic combined
- Fully up-scalable to higher capacity
- No biofilm growth due to optimized reactor interior
