Algae & Microalgae Culture Tanks

Algae are an important biotech feedstock for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, omega-3 oils, carotenoids, pigments, and biofuels.  Their use in wastewater and remediation include sequestering or biosequestration of nutrients, heavy metals, and greenhouse gases.

Microalgae are phototrophic requiring UV light sources, carbon dioxide and inorganic nutrients to grow.  The microalgae have a very simple structure essentially composed of a cell wall, a vacuole, and a nucleus.
