Description

"The simplest organism on the planet could be the solution to the world's most complicated problems."

Founded in 2007, AlgaeLink provides cost-effective photobioreactors for cultivating/growing algae, a high quality product.
Algae as a large group of fresh and salt water - organisms, are at the base of the aquatic food chain. Most algae contain chlorophyll and are photosynthetic.

Photosynthesis (Light Immersion Technology; LIT) using algae, sunlight, water and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) forms the basis for the production of biofuels and raw materials for the chemical industry, among others, and can pave the way to a "sustainable" world.
Some advantages of micro - algae:
- through their photosynthesis one of the most efficient organisms in converting solar energy into chemical energy,
- They produce up to 30 times the amount of biofuel from agricultural crops,
- Algae production increases with increasing CO2 levels in water.

AlgaeLink has already delivered 38 photobioreactors worldwide, including to the US government. Closed reactors with the following advantages:
- Better control of algae cultivation ( in contrast to open basin systems )
- Size surface to volume ratio
- Good protection against outside influences
- More biomass; higher density
- Applicable for many algae species.
Algae cultivation can be carried out in various ways, as shown in the schematic "complete project" shown here. In Peter van den
Dorpel's presentation, the possibilities of the photobioreactor are highlighted, after which its construction can be viewed in the company
