Beckon Industries Achieves a New Milestone in Microalgae Production
Beckon Industries Ltd.. (BIL) , company based out of Chandigrah, claims to have achieved a new milestone in the production of microalgae in PBR. They are currently undertaking measurement, monitor and validation (MMV) process in Goa and have produced 125 times more algae with its newly developed photo bio reactor (PBR) than the existing PBR’s developed across the globe.
Cultivating algae in PBR is being studied by many researchers and companies, as it is believed to produce 7-1o times more yield ( theoretical yields) when compared to the age old open-pond system. However, the PBR system unlike the open-pond system doesnt have issues such as contamination, low productivity and so on.
BIL said it completed the validation of scientific and engineering principals for its novel design of inexpensive PBR and cheaper method of micro algal cultivation
