What are open and closed algae culture systems? Open algae culture systems and closed photobioreactors (PBRs) are the two broadest methods for culturing microalgae at medium to large scale, and the advantages and disadvantages depend on your microalgae cultivation goals. ...
Varicon Aqua’s latest project is up and running in Hong Kong, with the installation led in person by our Managing Director, Joe McDonald. The client, Geb Impact Technology Company Limited, will be using two of our reactor systems, the Phyco-Lift and the Phyco-Pyxis, the latest in our range of innovative products. Geb Impact and Varicon Aqua have enjoyed a long professional relationship, ...
This initiative has been approved by the Egyptian Ministry of Health, stating that new products must only be produced from algae grown under controlled conditions in closed system photobioreactors due to high air pollution contaminating open pond ...
What are open and closed algae culture systems? The two broadest methods of culturing algae at medium to large scale are split into two styles of system: open and closed photobioreactors (PBRs). A PBR is any device or system that supports the culture of photosynthetic organisms using light. There are photobioreactor advantages ...
Industrial Plankton’s photobioreactors make business easier for companies around the world. And they are located in Victoria! Using traditional methods, algae production can be a difficult and error-prone process. “We found out that everybody in aquaculture was having trouble growing algae, and they were doing it with old-school methodologies,” says Robert Roulston, CEO of ...
To guarantee a high purity level as well as high yield in the cultivation process, Algatech applied a modified version of its proprietary, state-of-the-art, photobioreactor technology. Cultivated in a closed and controlled environment under the abundant sunshine of Israel's Arava desert, FucoVital can be grown year-round and is not dependent on seasonal ...

Several obstacles and limitations currently prevent the industrial exploitation of microalgae for feed, food and biofuel production. Photobioreactors (closed systems for algae cultivation) suffer from high-energy expenditures for mixing and cooling, while cultures in large-scale open ponds, which have a more favorable net energy ratio, are unstable ecosystems in ...
This work reviews the current status of five selected companies at the forefront of production of liquid fuels from microalgae produced in 'closed' photobioreactors and fermenters: Algae.Tec, Algenol Biofuel, Heliae, Solazyme and Solix. All the five companies in the review have developed novel closed production systems, each with unique ...
