Industrial Application with Buzon Pedestals

Project: Biotech Industrial Production of Algae

Industrial Application with Buzon Pedestals: In this outdoor microalgae production facility, elevated pipes, also known as tubular photobioreactors, are essential for the efficient cultivation and harvesting of algae. These pipes are integral to a closed-loop system designed to enhance algae growth, optimize nutrient delivery, and streamline harvesting. Within these tubes, algae flow continuously, maximizing their exposure to sunlight and nutrient-rich water. These biotech systems prioritize cost-effectiveness and the ability to function outdoors in direct sunlight, even on minimally improved land. Buzon pedestals were employed to elevate and support the tubes and pipes in this industrial operation.
