Scientific Consulting
MicroBio Engineering partners with clients to drive innovation in algae product development. With decades of research experience, our team is extensively published in microalgae biomass production, strain selection, biofuels, and facility design. Our deep expertise enables us to support clients worldwide in developing and optimizing microalgae technology.
Techno-Economic and Life Cycle Assessment
MicroBio Engineering has developed proprietary techno-economic (TEA) and environmental life cycle (LCA) models to deliver fast, cost-effective insights into algae production for wastewater treatment, fuels, feed, nutraceuticals, and more. Our team has authored numerous technical papers on the TEA and LCA of algae production and processing facilities, reinforcing our expertise in optimizing these systems.
Technology Development
MicroBio Engineering, Inc. has designed cutting-edge algae biomass production platforms, ranging from laboratory-scale to full-scale systems for research projects. Our portfolio features the highly sought-after RW0.5, RW3.4, RW22-101, and RW200-600 algae cultivation ponds, along with a custom scalable monitoring and control system for both these ponds and larger installations. Additionally, our benchtop technology includes the low-cost, high-volume bubble column photobioreactor (BCA-PBR) and the fully automated algae cultivator (AAC-PBR), designed for hands-free operation.
