Industrial and ecological production of microalgae

The industrial production system was developed specifically for the challenges of microalgae production on an industrial scale. It impresses with its stepless expandability and the principle of “one CI serves all CM180 modules”, whereby one cultivation infrastructure serves all CM180 modules. This approach ensures optimal use of resources and high efficiency in the production process. The industrial production system from Subitec is not just a product, it is a paradigm shift. Its design embodies integration, expandability and a true commitment to sustainability. For companies that are caught between efficiency and environmental responsibility, this system points the way to the future.

Industrial production system: freely scalable for maximum cultivation volume

Set-up of industrial production system

Cultivation Module CM180

The CM180 module is the heart of the system. Each module is designed for continuous operation and consistent microalgae production. Its innovative design allows the system to be easily expanded with additional CM180 modules, making it adaptable to increasing production requirements.

Cultivation Infrastructure (CI)

The CI serves as the central supply unit for all CM180 modules. It consists of:

A specialised unit to prepare and provide the ideal growth medium for the microalgae.

This unit is responsible for harvesting the microalgae produced, ensuring maximum yield and high quality.

A systematic cleaning process (CIP/SIP) is carried out to ensure that the production environment remains sterile and free of contamination at all times.

This unit also monitors and manages the entire production process remotely. Automation ensures consistent results and optimal operation.

The ring line is more than just a connection, it acts as the system’s neural network. By connecting all units, it ensures that information, resources and processes flow uninterrupted and optimal system performance is guaranteed.

Resource optimisation and environmental responsibility are becoming increasingly important. To this end, three innovative add-ons will complement the CM180 modules in the future: the CO2 Recovery Unit, the Water Recovery Unit and the Hydrogen Extraction Unit.
