New isolates of halophytic algae are being profiled for use in D-Factory sites
Cultivation in raceways New raceways are equipped with novel harvesting
technology to concentrate fragile cells intact
Cultivation in photobioreactors Photobioreactors resilient to high salt concentrations are
able to control cultivation parameters on demand
Pilot raceway at NBT Eilat
Evodos dynamic settler (Spiral
Plate Technology)
New modular salt-resistant PBRs
Processing cell extracts with
membranes Membrane bioreactors, FPLC & LC-MS recover
peptides, proteins
Processing cell extracts with
ScCO2
Ultrahigh (1000 bar) pressures with CO2 extract carotenes, xanthophylls, PUFA’s, vitamins, chlorophyll
Processing cell extracts with
solvents using HPCCC
4.6l -18l CCC machines recover lipophilic compounds based on size and solubility in solvents
Pilot membrane unit (2.5–7.5m2; spiral-wound; cross flow)
FPLC recovers proteins, enzymes
Biorefinery of the future
Global Dunaliella production
