Production Information
Algae are selected for
fast growth and greatest oil content. The algae are
then genetically engineered to enhance their
best commercial
characteristics.
Algae produces 7 to 10 crops per year
compared to 1 or 2
crops per
year for traditional oil producing crops.
We grow algae
in above ground prefabricated modular concrete tanks. These modules
can be quickly assembled to needed lengths or disassembled and moved
to new location.
Concrete, as a tank material is durable and cost
effective.
The tanks are organized in rows that allow easy
access for
service equipment
used to dispense fertilizers, harvest algae,
and monitor their growth
rates.
After
harvesting the algae is moved to a centralized processing
facility for separation of oil, protein
and cellulose.
