Necton, leader of sub-project 1a, has installed an advanced refrigeration system. This system is part of the DEMO “more efficient and sustainable production”, which uses a chiller connected to heat exchangers to cool microalgae cultures in tubular photobioreactors when temperatures are high, avoiding the use of fresh water, a very scarce resource in the Algarve. In addition, the entire system is powered by solar energy, thus promoting more sustainable and efficient production.
This DEMO is part of a total of three that will be implemented as part of Algae Vertical’s SP1a sub-project.
