Algades: Your Partner in Microalgae Production

Algades is a leading consulting and integrated project management company that specializes in the production of microalgae. With years of experience in designing and operating microalgae cultivation plants, Algades has become a trusted partner for businesses looking to enter the rapidly growing market of microalgae-based products.

Microalgae are microscopic organisms that have been gaining popularity as a sustainable source of food, feed, fuel, and other valuable products. They are known for their high nutritional value, low environmental impact, and versatility in various applications. However, producing microalgae on a large scale requires expertise in several areas such as biology, engineering, chemistry, and economics.

This is where Algades comes into play. Our team of experts has extensive knowledge and skills in all aspects of microalgae production from strain selection to downstream processing. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and goals and provide customized solutions that maximize efficiency, quality, and profitability.

Our services cover the entire project lifecycle from feasibility studies to commissioning and operation. We use state-of-the-art technologies such as photobioreactors (PBRs), raceway ponds (RWPs), closed systems (CSs), among others depending on the client's requirements. We also offer training programs for operators and technicians to ensure smooth operation after handover.

At Algades we believe that sustainability is key to success both for our clients' businesses as well as for the planet. Therefore we strive to minimize waste generation by utilizing circular economy principles such as using CO2 emissions or wastewater streams from other industries as nutrients sources for algae growth.

Our portfolio includes successful projects across different sectors such as aquaculture feed production, nutraceuticals extraction, biofuels generation or carbon capture utilization storage (CCUS). Some examples are:

- A 10-hectare RWP plant producing 1000 tons/year of Spirulina for human consumption in South America.

- A CS plant integrated with a biogas plant producing 500 tons/year of Chlorella for animal feed in Europe.

- A PBR pilot plant testing different strains and conditions for biofuels production in Asia.

Algades is committed to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We are constantly researching and developing new technologies and applications to stay ahead of the curve. Our team is composed of multidisciplinary professionals with diverse backgrounds who share a passion for microalgae and sustainability.
