Digestate contains many nutrients and can be a potential food source for algae. This saves money spent on fertiliser. Initial lab trials (with e.g. beef manure and chicken manure digestate) showed that algae will grow on digestate when added sufficiently diluted. The colour and the organic matter contained in digestate are points that need attention. […]
This project concerns the processing of brewery process water with the aid of algae. Purification of process water is a cost for companies and also valuable nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are lost using the current methods. The cultivation of algae might achieve a win-win situation. The algae take in the nitrogen and phosphorus, leaving clean […]
In this project aqueous waste streams are upgraded and valorised through the production of algae and the closing of cycles. For algae cultivation, amongst other things, a LCA-calculation was made to determine for which steps in the process, sustainability improvements have the largest effect. In 2015, six tanks were built for specific cultivation of aquatic […]
The aim of this project is to develop a new innovative culture technology for the commercial production of food grade salt water algae with an interesting composition profile for companies in the food and nutrition industry. The project runs from 2014 to 2017. ACRRES is working on this project in cooperation with AF&F BV and […]
A major concern in the production of algae by LED light is the power consumption it involves. One possibility to reduce this is by using super fast flashing with high frequencies (> 1 kHz). This way the supply and the processing of light by the photosynthetic system of the algae is more in sync, and […]
Tests are carried out in cooperation with two seed potato farms to see whether the technique of inundation can be made more economically viable by algae cultivation. The farmers flood their lands in the summer months to fight soil diseases. Thus, they cannot grow crops. Algae cultivation during these months may be an option. This […]
