The Committee of Experts praised the innovation power of Evodos and placing the algae harvesting innovation on the market, which makes a major contribution to advancing and improving the production of microalgae:
“With the Dynamic Settlers Evodos’ customers achieve excellent results in harvesting Algae. Evodos has over 60 customers worldwide in the Algae market, which proves that the innovation is really accepted by the Algae market. With Evodos, even the smallest Algae (species of Nannochloropsis), fragile algae (species of Dunaliella and Diatoms) and both fresh and marine water algae are harvested successfully. The Evodos Dynamic settlers, with the unique Spiral Plate Technology reaches a separation efficiency over 95%, and a dry weight of the output Algae paste of 1.5 – 2 times better compared to traditional centrifuges. Even more important, the Algae paste is of excellent quality: all algae cells are harvested intact and undamaged. During the harvesting process, the Algae don’t change in structure and temperature.
