Power and automation technology group ABB and Renewable Algal Energy LLC collaborate to commercialize integrated algal production systems.
This algal production system, developed and tested at RAE's facility in Arizona, will produce algae‐based products for the nutraceutical, animal nutrition and renewable fuels markets. The first commercial application is scheduled to start by the end of the year.
"We are honored that ABB has selected to work with RAE in the development of infrastructure for RAE's unique technology in complete integrated algal production systems," said Jeffrey S. Kanel, CEO of RAE. RAE will produce the equipment that harvests and extract algae and its co-products, including oils, proteins and carotenoids. The scalable systems are designed for medium- to large-scale algae farms.
"This solution offers a low cost, efficient process for the harvesting and extraction of algae and its co-products including oil." said Tobias Becker, head of control technologies of ABB.
