A-PBR Technology Features
With each A-PBR unit requiring only a 9 sqm area for installation, our technology maximizes space efficiency without compromising output. The vertical configuration of the PBRs allows for efficient use of space, enabling high-volume production in compact areas, ideal for businesses with space constraints.
Our A-PBR system is designed to meet the specific needs of various industries. Whether it’s producing Omega-3 rich microalgae for nutraceuticals, or nutrient-rich feed for aquaculture, our technology can be tailored to produce the specific microalgae strains required by different sectors. This industry-agnostic approach allows us to provide customized microalgae solutions.
Repeatability and swift recovery are at the core of our A-PBR system. Precise control over various growth parameters ensures consistent production of microalgae. Additionally, our system is designed for fast recovery in the event of disruptions, ensuring minimal impact on productivity.
Our A-PBR system integrates an intelligent monitoring and regulation system, which collects and analyzes data in real-time to maintain optimal growth conditions. Leveraging advanced AI and machine learning algorithms, we continuously optimize our cultivation protocols, ensuring high-quality output.
At Algamol, quality is paramount. Our proprietary cultivation protocol and quality control system ensure the consistency and quality of our microalgae, minimizing the risk of contamination and delivering a product free from pollutants and impurities.
As we look to the future, we aim to refine our A-PBR technology further, enhance our data collection and analysis tools, and develop solutions that can be even more precisely tailored to industry needs. Our goal is to drive down production costs, increase efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable future through the power of microalgae.
Durable System
The 5-cubic-meter system was designed to provide the optimal conditions for the cultivation of commercial algae varieties for food and cosmetics. In addition, the system provides a cost-effective solution in hatcheries by enabling a fresh supply of quality culture, while significantly reducing costs.
Light Intensity
The technology simulates a natural light intensity where some of the time the culture is in almost complete darkness and the rest of the time it grows in light that allows photosynthesis. The system has artificial lighting regulated by a controller that turns on the light when the natural light is insufficient.
Feeding
The culture is fed with fertilizers with a doze pulse pump that feed the system every few seconds. The amount of fertilizer fed to the culture is adjusted for consumption. The fertilizer formula is based on Algamol’s protocol with unique elements to optimize efficiency.
Air and Carbon Dioxide
The system is closed and based on the circulation of filtered enriched air. The system allows the release of oxygen to the environment.
Water System
The system is adjusted to operate with a medium in diverse salinities. The water is filtered and purified to allow the growth to succeed. The water circulates through an external cooling system that allows the water temperature to be maintained to an accuracy of 1 Celsius.
System Control
There is a system that broadcasts 24/7 the growth data of the algae and water quality. The system is connected to a computer that controls and documents all the parameters required for growth. With the help of cameras, it is possible to see the culture in the growth tank
The Rotation of the Culture
The rotation is created by the pump’s capability and the force of gravitation. The vertical mixing method is significantly more economical in power consumption for operating the pumps. The rotation is distributed within two water tanks according to the needs and continues even after the pumping has stopped.
Infections Control
In case of infections, a simple protocol for infection treatment is executed during the growth cycle.
Harvesting
The harvesting is performed continuously daily. The duration of the harvest period can continue for several weeks and if necessary a batch harvest of the entire culture can be carried out. Harvesting in the first stage is carried out automatically with the increase in culture density. During the harvest, the process of returning the medium to the crop is carried out automatically – the harvested water is recycled back to the system after treatment and filtration, and the water loss is negligible
Routine operation and maintenance
No expensive professional manpower is needed for the operation. (For a farm of 20 PBRs, 3 people can be satisfied). Parts of the system meet food standard compliance requirements. All parts can be replaced quickly without having to stop the system and it is characterized by low wear. The system is resistant to outdoor conditions and there is no need for protection from rain or sun.
System Cleaning
The cleaning and disinfection process consists of several stages and lasts about 60 minutes per PBR. It is fully operated while cleaning. The cleaning liquids are not containing any solvents or detergents hence environmentally friendly. The entire cleaning process can be performed by only one employee.
