OriginOil launches mid-sized algae harvester

In California, OriginOil announced the launch of its mid-sized algae harvester, designed, with producer input, for distributed algae production. The new harvester, designated EWS Algae A60, processes 16 gallons per minute of algae water and is ideally suited to distributed architectures.

Individual A60 units can each be assigned to manage a pond or bioreactor assembly of up to 500,000 liters. Units can be combined to achieve massively parallel processing capability. Andrew Green, president of Garden State bioEnterprises stated, “The EWS Algae A60 is ideal for our production modules — better than a single central unit — and we plan to install an array of Model 60s during our expansion phase.”
