Algae Bioreactor Project by Fluid Imaging Technologies & BioMarine Fuels
Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc. has confirmed that its FlowCAM imaging particle analyser will be a key component in a groundbreaking algae-to-biofuel research and commercial development project engineered and built by BioMarine Fuels Inc. The project focuses on the production of algal biomass in a patent-pending, closed photobioreactor system, or SolarMagnatro.
The FlowCAM, which combines rapid digital imaging with microscopy, will monitor performance of BioMarine Fuels’ SolarMagnatron, an algae biomass reactor that efficiently propagates lipid-containing algae to be processed into biodiesel and other high market value bio-fuels and chemicals.
