Infinitely Sustainable™

Purpose

To create sustainability through the building blocks of life

Mission

To manufacture and deploy a versatile Algae cultivation platform that is used globally to grow high-protein algal biomass for human food and animal feed and; also for treating wastewater, producing energy feedstock and for CO2 remediation.

Vision

To harness all the potentials of micro-algae to support sustainability in the water, energy, and food nexus

Symbiotic's Algae Cultivation Technology

Growth Rate

3-5 grams of dry algal biomass per liter, per 4 days

Land Footprint

>16 million liters of treated water discharge per acre, per 4 days

Service Life

> 25 years’ service life

Grows algae optimally in a controlled environment

Algae consumes CO2 and produces oxygen as it grows

Growth cycles are carbon neutral depending on CO2 and energy source

No water loss due to evaporation.

About Algae

2.4 billion years ago algae created the oxygen-rich environment that was the catalyst for life on earth. They are the fastest-growing plants on the planet.

Algae are a large and diverse group of organisms that live naturally in most aquatic environments.

Algae thrive in conditions ranging from moderate to the most extreme imaginable. They grow by metabolizing environmentally deleterious nutrients, minerals, and elements that are typically contained in most watercourses. They absorb these nutrients from the water and convert them into biomolecules that are used to manufacture a wide variety of bio-based products.

The Algae Challenge

Growing algae consistently year-round in northern regions, exposed to all weather conditions using conventional methods poses a formidable challenge.

Drawing on a lifetime of experience gained from working as a mechanical technician in the heavy equipment repair and maintenance field, and in the oilfield equipment design-build industry, Symbiotic’s founder, Art Deane enthusiastically took on the challenge to devise a viable solution. After several months of basic research followed by a year of in-depth applied research and testing, Deane unveiled a conceptual prototype.
