The Bioautomated Algae Plantation

Amid extensive media coverage in 2018, one of the largest and first closed, year-round microalgae cultivation facilities in the world was officially opened in Bruck an der Leitha in Lower Austria. The photobioreactor system developed by Austrian-based ecoduna, which consists of 43,000 6-meter high glass tubes, is designed to produce roughly 100 tons of ultrapure algae powder annually. With its high concentrations of high grade vegan omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, natural color substances and micronutrients, plus essential amino acids, microalgae is considered a highly-sustainable and resource-efficient raw material of the future, particularly for the food industry. One of the key issues during research and development was the creation of an industrial-scale production infrastructure, which required an automated system for controlling the biological growth process. Over the course of the project, Endress+Hauser proved to be a highly-engaged, persistent partner. At that time still a startup, ecoduna was supported from the very beginning by the measurement technology specialist with both high-quality sensor technology and comprehensive expertise in the area of pH value and optical density (OD) measurements, two relevant pieces of the patented green technology puzzle.
