Microalgae cultivation system

Producing high-quality microalgae on an industrial scale demands systems that maximize yield while minimizing space and resource use. Traditional cultivation systems often struggle to deliver efficiency and contamination control needed for applications in food supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Optimizes light exposure and gas exchange

The CM180 Cultivation Module from Subitec employs advanced Flat-Panel-Airlift-Photobioreactor technology, making it distinct in the realm of industrial microalgae production. With a volume of 5.4 cubic meters and a photosynthetic surface area of 270 square meters, this system optimizes light exposure and gas exchange to ensure minimal shear stress, protecting algal cells from damage. The module’s space-saving design enables efficient cultivation on a mere 16 square meters of floor space. Its integrated system configuration ensures contamination-free production, crucial for high-purity biomass applications in various industries. The unit is scalable, allowing seamless expansion by adding more modules. The CM180 can be remotely monitored and controlled, reducing human error and labor requirements. The CM180 module by Subitec is particularly suitable for sectors such as food supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, providing reliable, large-scale production capabilities.
