Algae photo bioreactors have had a lot of publicity in the last 12 months. We at AlgaeLink, N.V. are extremely confident in "AlgaeLink™" photo-bio reactors and we would like our customers to feel this way as well. For this reason we are offering our demo units as the initial step to larger plants. We would like you to start at this size, with minimum investment with the ability to scale up to any capacity, at any time. All our equipment is modular, which means you have the time to gain expertise and experience before investing further.

 

With this low budget photo-bioreactor, do you have you a perfect  unit to:

  • test your algae strains
  • test the algae growing conditions in your area
  • learn how to collect the algae
  • learn algae drying 
  • press oil out of the dried algae, etc.
