Algasol Renewables implements internal aeration system.

During the past months Algasol Renewables has investigated and tested different internal aeration systems for the aeration and stirring of the algae biomass inside the photobioreactor. Many factors have been considered in identifying the final design of the internal aeration system, including economics, efficiency and scalability.

On the basis hereof, Algasol Renewables in September successfully launched a new photobioreactor with a fully integrated internal aeration system. The new internal aeration system has lowered production cost of algae oil with 10% and the results in terms of productivity and biomass density are very promising.

Based on a standard micro algae strain, Algasol Renewables achieved an average productivity in October of more than 60 grams per m2 per day with an average biomass density of more than 4 grams per liter. These results are a significant milestone in the commercialization of its novel and flexible polymer photobioreactor that can be used equally in the sea or in seawater ponds on land.

Algasol Renewables' objective is to have the world's largest and most cost-efficient algae photobioreactor pilot plant.
