is principally an equipment provider. We sell, operate
and service cultivation platforms for 1 to 10 acre projects.
cultivation platforms are low-cost closed reactors. Culture BioSystems platforms can
be setup on ground or water depending on the characteristics of the location. The platforms are constructed
of plastic film which has the perfect balance of durability and clarity to ensure an optimal environment for
algae growth. The principal benefits of these platforms are high biomass density, low contamination and
good thermal control. The platforms produce reliable, highly productive algae at capital costs similar to an
open pond using natural strains.
Using the FloatAlgae equipment platforms, Culture BioSystems has successfully cultivated algae from
different families (diatoms, blue-green, green) to demonstrate that the system can deliver benefits to any
algal strain.
Culture BioSystems has ongoing partnerships with strain and harvesting companies to provide a project
developer with an end-to-end solution.
The main benefits of the LandAlgae system versus open ponds are:




Minimizes impact of rainfall on culture and nutrient concentration
Increases contamination barriers so that algae do not escape and external predators do not enter
Produces higher biomass density due to shallow water depth (to lower dewatering cost)
Quick installation and disassembly of reactor modules
The main benefits of the FloatAlgae system versus open ponds are:
 Allows the use of water when land is not available for use
 Requires lower capital investment to construct algae facility.
