About the Algal biomass facilities

We use our algal biomass facilities to explore cultivation systems, marine and freshwater biochemical methane production and biorefineries. Our facilities are located in both Southampton and Spain. 

    Technical specification

    Southampton

    At our Southampton laboratory we have a 320 litre photobioreactor. We also have the facilities to make smaller batches of different algal strains. Work on the kinetics of algal growth is carried out using our instrumented lab-scale photobioreactors.

    Spain

    At our experimental site in Spain we work with our partners at the University of Almeria.

    We have:

    • two 100 m2 raceway reactors
    • a wide range of photobioreactors up to production scale
