Engineered algae cultivation systems for protein production on waste nutrient streams
Ranging from treatment of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of gallons per day, we have engineered reactors and processes for cultivating microalgae on waste nutrient streams, including food waste, dairy wastewater, anaerobic digester effluent, mining wastewater and municipal wastewater. Depending on the waste stream, these can be deployed as outdoor open raceway ponds, raceways ponds enclosed in greenhouses or in indoor LED lit photobioreactor. They have been deployed to cultivate naturally occurring native microalgae polycultures and specific uni-algal strains depending on the product of interest (ie. protein, pigment, lipids etc.)
