Dutch Company Advances Algae Production for Biodiesel Feedstock

from Mass Media Distribution Newswire:

The Netherlands -- AlgaeLink NV, a European leader in alternative energy production, announced today that they have developed patented photobioreactor systems for algae which are the only ones in the world that are not built out of pre-manufactured tubes, but out of special manufactured UV protected transparent sheets, equipped with a type of zipper.

When the 4 to 6 mm thick sheets arrive on the building site, they are easily and automatically folded into a durable and sturdy, perfectly round tube with a diameter of 64 cm. This tube automatically seals water tight. With this construction the shipping costs will be reduced by 90%.

During the three years of its development, AlgaeLink has made tremendous progress in the science of algae and the engineering of their patented, large commercialized microalgae production systems.
