ABB Partners with Renewable Algae Energy to Build Efficient Integrated Algae Production Systems
ABB, a Zurich based power and automation technology company, is now partnering with Renewable Algal Energy(RAE) at Tennessee, on commercialization of integrated algal production systems that will produce algae- based products for the nutraceutical, animal nutrition and renewable fuel markets. The system has been tested and is likely to be operated in the fourth quarter of the year. The scalable systems are designed for medium to large scale algae farms. ABB offers 800xA control systems, instrumentation, low voltage electrical equipment and variable speed drives for Renewable Algae Energy for the efficient operation of integrated algal production systems. The new system on successful installation, will offer economically feasible business activity owing to the low cost of production and extraction of algae- based products.
