Our Value Add
The Process
Why Algae?
|
What we
bring to the table:
While Genesis Biofuel refineries are built using
largely off the shelf components that are already proven to work, our value add is
in the creation of three new devices and the way we combine these devices with
existing components to substantially increase the efficiency of the overall
system:
Genesis Biofuel
value add |
Feature
|
Benefit |
High Efficiency Photo Bioreactor (PBR)
|
Large clear tubes linked together that contain water
and a specific strain of algae
|
- PBRs provide a clean controlled environment vs growing
algae in open ponds
- Our PBRs accelerate algae growth, increasing the rate of
CO2 absorption and the production rate of biomass and
biodiesel
|
| Algae flow system |
Keeps algae constantly moving |
- keeps bacteria at bay
- affords a higher flow rate of production
- increases consumption of CO2 and other pollutants
|
Algal harvester
|
Continuous 24/7 rate
adjustable harvester
|
- improves efficiency (algae can
flow uninterrupted)
- rate adjustability allows us to handle problems without
downtime
|
| Superior design |
Comprehensive monitoring system for each step in the
process |
- optimal algae growth
- higher production yield
- increased CO2 sequestration
- ability to quantify the exact amount of carbon we sequester
and oxygen we release
|
| Carbon negative plant |
Refining process runs on heat from a concentrated
solar thermal system. The refinery is entirely carbon
negative.
|
- no waste
- all water used in the process is recycled
- all by products are used by our customers and the surplus
biodiesel has retail value on the open market
