Algae Cultivation System Developed at NAA Test Center
(Algae Industry Magazine) The National Algae Association (NAA) has announced that a new commercial algae production cultivation system has been developed at the NAA Test Center in The Woodlands, Texas. The new Algae Growth Cell (G-Cell)™ was developed by AlgaeEquip, LLC, an incubator company at the test center.
The new G-Cell is described by the NAA as the world’s largest custom commercial algae production closed-loop semi-continuous cultivation system for universities and indoor and outdoor commercial algae farmers. It helps reduce the daily contamination issues and low production from open raceway ponds and reduces the high cost of using expensive clear PVC tube photobioreactors. NAA suggests that vertical PVC closed-loop photobioreactors, going forward, will only be used as inoculation systems for the much larger commercial growing systems. READ MORE
