Algae Growth
Every hectare of Algae Forest can:
- Produce 200 tons/year of algae
- Capture 400 tons/year of CO2
- Produce 300 tons/year of oxygen
- Treat the wastewater of 20,000 people
- Recover 16 ton/year of nitrogen and 4 tons/year of phosphorus

A New Way to Treat Waste Water
Sun Energy + 6 CO2 + 6H2O + Nutrients -> Algae Biomass +6O2
Wastewater Treatment
- Applications in secondary, and tertiary in municipal wastewater, anaerobic digester sidestreams, and industrial wastewaters
- Ideal upgrade to meet new nutrient or capacity limits, while achieving carbon neutral treatment
- Synergistic use of mixotrophic biomass (mixed algae + bacteria)
- Carbon capture from the air, combined with nutrient and BOD removal
- Beneficial uses for algae grown on wastewater (fertilizer, biofuel production, some nutraceuticals extraction)
Biomass Production
- Algae grown for animal feed, human food and extraction of thousands of nutraceuticals and biomaterials
- Two strains, Chlorella and Spirulina account for 90% of the production globally
- CO2 from the air or external sources and nutrients from fertilizers
- Growth conditions optimized and controlled for specific biomass features
Biofuel Production
- Biomass and energy produced per hectare of land with algae is orders of magnitude larger than for land crops
- Very large effort (2005-2015) to grow algae for their energy contents resulted in a biofuel “bubble”
- Renewed interest in using algae to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel
- Wastewater derived algae biomass has the potential to significantly reduce production costs
