Caron Products releases new algae production equipment

In Ohio, Caron Products has released an Algae Chamber as part of its Plant Growth Chamber series. The Chamber provides precise lighting and temperature-controlled conditions suited for algae growth applications. Because of its characteristics, algae are a top contender as a potential renewable energy alternative to fossil fuel. The chamber is designed to use high efficiency fluorescent lamps to mimic day/night conditions. Available in 25 and 33 ft3, the chamber produces 300 µmoles/m2/sec of light standard and is commonly used to grow and study algae in flasks. The light banks are interchangeable, and depending upon the application, optional lighting enhancements are available
