Contact/tours 		The demonstration algae production plant is located in Hallum, Netherlands. Together with Kelstein, a dairy farm and biogas company, we grow algae on the wastestreams of the anaerobic digestion unit and the Combined Heat Power units. The installation provides us with energy,  excess heat, nutrients and CO2 from the flue gas. These are all necessary elements for growing algae:

- Electricity for energy
- Excess heat for heating of the water
- Flue gas (CO2) as a carbon sulphate and nitrogen source

By using these wastestreams, we can grow algae in a cost efficient way, and contribute to the efficiency and the sustainability of the dairy farm at the same time. 

         

We have built a system consisting of four LED supported photobioreactors, each with a volume of 20 m3 and three High Rate Raceway Ponds.  With our patented harvesting system, we use a low energy pre-concentration combined with a centrifuge. With this size we currently have the biggest operational LED photobioreactor in Europe! Our results so far are succesfully growing algae in a continuous culture on the excess heat and flue gas. We are currently experimenting with using the digestate as a nutrient source.
