About
AlgaeArt has developed a technology designed to efficiently dispose of a byproduct of reverse osmosis (RO). Water is a limiting factor in arid and semi-arid areas, and the use of RO in brackish wells presents great business potential. However, the process releases a concentrate high in salt and nitrates that requires proper disposal, which is very expensive. AlgaeArts technology feeds this RO concentrate to spirulina ponds. AlgaeArts process integrates the management of salty waters, disposal of concentrate, and microalgae agriculture. Spirulina cultures transform the nitrates into valuable biomass, while evaporation of the brines is a zero-liquid discharge byproduct of the outdoor ponds. The results include production of the food supplement spirulina, desalination, and the profitable disposal of the concentrate. The companys pond technology meets the strictest environmental requirements for soil and aquifer protection, and can be adapted to different climate conditions through the use of low-cost greenhouses. AlgaeArt also has adopted low-energy solutions for CO2 supply and drying spirulina.
Q&A
- What is AlgaeArt's primary business focus?
- AlgaeArt focuses on producing spirulina using a technology that efficiently disposes of the byproduct of reverse osmosis (RO) desalination, specifically the concentrate high in salt and nitrates.
- How does AlgaeArt's technology address the issue of RO concentrate disposal?
- AlgaeArt's technology feeds the RO concentrate to spirulina ponds, where the spirulina cultures transform nitrates into valuable biomass. This process integrates salty water management, concentrate disposal, and microalgae agriculture, resulting in zero-liquid discharge.
- What products or benefits result from AlgaeArt's process?
- AlgaeArt's process results in the production of spirulina, a food supplement, and contributes to desalination and the profitable disposal of RO concentrate.
- When was AlgaeArt founded?
- AlgaeArt was founded in September 2009.
- What is the current status of AlgaeArt?
- AlgaeArt is currently inactive, as of January 2017.
- What sector does AlgaeArt primarily operate in?
- AlgaeArt primarily operates in the Agriculture & Food Technologies sector.
- What is AlgaeArt's one-liner description?
- AlgaeArt's one-liner is "Spirulina Production Using Desalination Byproduct".
