    Microalgae — microscopically small yet yielding
    huge economic and environmental potential.

    It is estimated that there are between 250


    thousand to several million different algae
    species. Thereof only 35 000 species have
    been scientifically recorded so far.

    There are around 5 thousand algae species


    available from culture collections around the
    world. However, only round 20 species are
    currently utilized for commercial applications.

    Given the commercial applications of today


    have been achieved with only a few microalgae
    species, the thousands of still undiscovered
    and unutilized species present a huge
    potential for economic exploitation.

    Microalgae are a fascinating life form. They live as plantlike organism usually in water and are capable of photosynthesis. Microalgae
    are less than one millimeter of size and due to their small size, they have a high surface to volume ratio, which enables significantly
    faster growth than terrestrial plants.

    Microalgae have all important characteristics of plants from an economical utilization standpoint — they need nutrients, light (which
    can be either sunlight or artificial light or both) and CO2 as carbon source, and given the right conditions they grow and produce
    biomass that contains various valuable substances.

    Since microalgae can be cultivated in special photobioreactors, cultivation can be performed under controlled conditions indoors or,
    in greenhouses or even outdoors where the cultivating conditions are more variable. Controlled conditions ensure better overall
    control of the process and such a more stable product quality.

    Resources Products There is a multitude of ingredients that can


    be obtained from microalgae that find use in
    various economically interesting commercial
    applications.

    Dietary supplements, nutraceuticals as also


    fish feed and cosmetics are among the most
    common applications for microalgae today.

    The current market outlook for the


    microalgae industry is favorable. With an
    increased demand for farmed fish and
    natural feed and dietary supplements and
    nutraceuticals, there is an growing demand
    for high quality microalgae based products.
    Industrial Production and Benef iciation of Microalgae

    In view of commercial, industrial production


    and beneficiation of microalgae, the key is to
    manage the input costs — the cost of the
    resources needed for cultivation. Thus, it is
    advisable that the production is setup in an
    location where the main resources i.e.
    electricity, CO2 and water are available at
    favorable cost, in the vicinity of other
    industry e.g. a power plant or a biogas plant
    that can also utilize the residue biomass.

    As cultivation conditions can vary


    significantly between different algae species,
    microalgae production systems are designed
    e.g. Power Plant based on the specific algae species and the
    intended application or end product.

    The patented Flat Panel Airlift (FPA) photobioreactor was Subitec plans and supplies turnkey production systems to its
    designed for industrial scale production of microalgae customers. The delivery is planned in accordance with the user
    biomass. The standard reactor sizes are 6, 28 and 180 requirements and is implemented based on a proven project
    Liter reactors whereby production systems typically range execution method which is designed in increase the user
    from tens to hundreds of 180 liter reactors. involvement the further the project advances. This enables the
    user to obtain the necessary information, training and
    Unlike many other reactor types the FPA is capable of capabilities progressively during the project delivery.
    utilizing very high light intensities without the need for
    shading and algae are efficiently transferred to light.

    The Subitec FPA reactor is an excellent choice for Subitec production systems are modular and easily customized
    industrial cultivation application. Excellent productivity, to different user requirements. The systems are typically highly
    high culture density and high process integrity are key automated and include integrated media preparation,
    features of the Subitec FPA reactor. harvesting, pH control, cooling and cleaning systems.
    Subitec is a German technology company headquartered in Stuttgart
    that specializes in process engineering and the supply of microalgae
    cultivation equipment and turn-key production systems.
    Established as a spin off from the Fraunhofer Institute, Subitec looks
    back at more than 20 years of experience with microalgae. Subitec is
    the developer and technology owner of the unique and patented Flat
    Panel Airlift (FPA) photobioreactor. Today, Subitec's equipment is
    used for cultivating high value microalgae that find application in e.g.
    nutraceuticals, aquaculture, cosmetics and healthcare.
