Microalgae

What are Microalgae?

Tiny jewels biological

 Invisible to the naked eye, the microalgae are single-celled organisms that thrive in diverse aquatic environments. Despite their microscopic size, their impact is monumental.

With a range of amazing shapes and colors, these tiny organisms are the base of the food chain in many aquatic habitats.

Through the process of photosynthesis, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, play a vital role in the regulation of the atmospheric balance. It is estimated that 70% of the photosynthesis of our planet is carried out by the microalgae.

Likewise, The microalgae are capable of producing large amounts of antioxidants such as β-carotene,
phycocyanin, minerals (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn), vitamins (tocopherols), fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, highlighting in some cases above the traditional vegetables.

Microalgae, a cost-effective option

Reuse of water

Microalgae act as biofilters natural. Absorb pollutants, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metals from the water.
In industrial processes, the microalgae enable you to reuse the water after your treatment. The water can then be re-used in the industrial process, for cleaning or for agricultural irrigation.
On farms, the microalgae purify the effluent farmers, turning them into water suitable for irrigation or even for animal consumption.
By integrating microalgae in the water treatment processes, promotes the circular economy. Closes the cycle by taking advantage of the resources and minimize waste.

Residue revalorizable

After resolving the challenge of removing the CO2 and debug the water, we find a residue valuable: the biomass of algal. Your appreciation economic to outweigh the costs invested in the process. In other words, this biomass is converted into an active, cost-effective, contributing to the sustainability and economic equilibrium.
