Algae Production Systems

Algae Production Systems focuses on the manufacture, sales and support of equipment for the production of Algae, Algae Oil and Algae Biomass

Algae production is a growth industry with significant potential.

In 2008, there were more than 300 commercial biodiesel plants in operation with a combined production capacity of over 1.2 billion gallons of biodiesel, along with hundreds of commercial-scale distributors selling the fuel throughout the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska.

This oil is collected and processed to reduce the percentage of water in the oil to the point that it is usable as a vegetable oil feedstock in the transesterification process whereby biodiesel fuel is manufactured.     Read More »
