Maximising yield and quality of microalgae

The efficient, space-saving design of the CM180 module provides a cultivation volume of 5.4 cubic metres, enabling a photosynthetic surface area of 270 square metres in only 16 square metres of floor space. This exceeds the capacity of average industrial microalgae production systems in terms of footprint to cultivation volume to photosynthetic surface area ratio. Its unique Flat-Panel Airlift-Photobioreactor design optimises light exposure and gas exchange, minimises shear stress and effectively protects algal cells from potential damage. This technology significantly improves the yield, growth rates and quality of the microalgae, contributing to a productive biomass.
