Engineering solutions for microalgae production
In microalgae biotechnology, photobioreactors (PBRs) are indispensable tools, enabling precise control over the cultivation environment to maximize algal growth and productivity. Addressing persistent challenges like biofilm formation, energy inefficiency, and uneven light distribution is critical for researchers exploring the potential of microalgae and producers scaling up for industrial applications. This article explores how innovative PBR […]
The use of a wastewater stream to grow algae | Lgem
Can you use a wastewater stream to grow algae? At Lgem, we often receive inquiries about growing algae on nutrient-rich wastewater stream using our Photobioreactors for algae. Wastewater streams can provide a valuable source of nutrients for growing algae in various applications. Algae can consume nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are commonly found […]

Behind the scenes v2food x Lgem
Meet the Architect: CSO Pieter Oostlander shares insights on process at Lgem’s AlgaeHub, focusing on plant-based protein innovations. A revolution in the plant-based meat industry. That is how to best describe the results when v2food and Lgem joined forces to cultivate a temperature-sensitive red algae. The optimized red algae extract led to RepliHue™, an ingredient […]
Optimization of microalgae production
Relationship Between Specific Growth Rate, Volumetric Productivity, and Biomass Concentration in Photobioreactors 1. Introduction A photobioreactor is a system that provides a controlled environment for the growth of photosynthetic organisms like microalgae. The performance of a photobioreactor is often characterized by parameters such as specific growth rate, volumetric productivity, and biomass concentration. Understanding the relationship […]
