TrueAlgae’s technology is designed specifically for freshwater microalgae. We are currently working on expanding our capabilities to include saltwater microalgae as well. More
Yes. TrueAlgae’s technology includes a special water cleaning system that provides a pure growing environment for the algae. More
TrueAlgae’s current facility has a 36 metric ton capacity. Because our technology is easily scalable and modular, we can expand to the needs of the market place rapidly. More
In closed-loop systems there are tight controls over the environment in which the microalgae grow. This means there are no external influences on the growth and no risk of contamination as may be seen in… More
Closed-loop means that there are no external influences effecting the outcome of the process. In the case of TrueAlgae, this means we control every aspect of growing the algae allowing for production of a very… More
A photobioreactor (PBR) is a bioreactor that utilizes a light source to cultivate phototrophic microorganisms, usually in clear tubes. Vertical refers to the tube’s placement, thus minimizing the foot print of the bioreactor. The organisms… More
TrueAlgae grows microalgae in vertical photobioreactors that are easily emptied by opening a valve. We then filter the algae biomass and collect the cultivated water, using each component for different applications. The tubes are replenished… More
