AlgaBloom Technologies presents a low-cost, turnkey biofarming solution.
AlgaBioreactor TM from AlgaBloom enables large-scale microalgae farming in a controlled environment, while remaining affordable to a wide range of users. These bioreactors can be easily deployed on land, floated on calm waters, or suspended from green-house trusses. To maximize exposure to sunlight, a solar reflector is placed underneath the channel. At night, artificial light can be provided by LED’s.
After cultivation and harvesting, oil extraction and processing of algae, when necessary, can be achieved from a patented process.

Bioreactor Features
Some key features of AlgaBloom’s latest Bioreactor (click to enlarge image):
AlgaBioreactor TM Features:
- Temperature control
- Scalability
- Wireless monitoring
- Suspendable
- Easy installation
Optional:
- LED lighting
- Agitation by bubbles and waves
- Low-energy harvesting
- Low-energy oil extraction
- Air-powered by windmill
- Deployable on calm waters Durable
AlgaBioreactor channel is shaped by heavy-duty durable (15+ yrs) plastic sheet that supports an AlgaBag. The system combines with an AlgaHarvestor to form a turnkey microalgae farming solution that operates with low-energy input for both sparging, agitation and harvesting. When necessary, a low-energy, highly efficient oil extraction (no chemicals) may be provided for continuous or batch bio-farming.
AlgaBloom Bioreactor with AlgaBag
AlgaBioreactorTM
The AlgaBioreactor (ABR100) is an elevated, shapable, height – adjustable PBR made of durable, translucent material with an integrated temperature control system. A solar reflector directs 20% additional light. Patents Pending.
AlgaBagTM
AlgaBagTM (patent pending) is a disposable liner for the AlgaBioreactor that incorporates its own sparger tube. Cell density tests comparing an AlgaBag with a control glass container, both inoculated with Golden Chlorella, resulted in comparable density levels. With a temperature control system and an ultra-low-energy wave generator, the combination AlgaBioreactor/ AlgaBagTM provides an effective, low-cost microalgae farming solution.

AlgaBioreactor™
- Low-cost Integrated / Hybrid Pond-Photobioreactor
- Scalable, Contamination and Temperature Controllable
- Inventor: S. Mottahedeh
- Scientific Adviser: M. R. Tredici
The AlgaBioreactor™ is an elevated, shapable, height-adjustable Photo bioreactor (PBR) made of a durable, semi-rigid material with an integrated temperature control system. It operates both with a seal-able cover or a sterile bag. A solar reflector brings in an additional 20% more light.
In outdoor tests, cell density in an AlgaBioreactor™ and in a control
bubble column PBR inoculated with e.g. microalgae Isochrysis sp
showed that both attain the same density level (2.2 x 107 cell/mL).
Reducing complexity and costs of PBRs without loss of quality will make microalgae farming more accessible, worldwide.
AlgaBag™
The AlgaBag™ is a liner of the AlgaBioreactor™. It incorporates its own sparger tube and prevents both internal and external contamination.
Recent cell density tests comparing an AlgaBag™ to a control glass container inoculated with Golden Chlorella showed that with more optimization, the AlgaBag™ will outperform glass pipes in both cell density and lipid content due to its proprietary design.
These advantages added to temperature control and use of a low-energy wave generator make the combined AlgaBag™ / AlgaBioreactor™ an effective, low-cost microalgae farming technology.
Pamphlet for AlgaBioreactor™ and AlgaBag™
The Alga-Bioreactor™ is an elevated, shapable, height-adjustable Photo Bioreactor (PBR) made of a durable, semi-rigid material with an integrated temperature control system. It functions with a seal-able cover or with a sterile bag or with both in cold environments.
A solar reflector directs an additional 20% more light to the bioreactor.
The AlgaBag™ is a disposable liner for the Alga-Bioreactor™ that incorporates a sparger tube and a built-in ultra-low-energy agitation system, The closable or closed AlgaBag reduces the incidence of external contamination.
