The Netherlands Institute of Applied Sciences and Algae Foods and Fuels have established mobile algae bio-refining plants

the Netherlands-based Netherlands Institute of Applied Sciences (
). TNO
) has teamed up with algae foods and fuels
Algae Food and Fuel
to build a mobile algae bio-refining plant, which will be used where algae can be cultured.made from purified raw materials and can be used as food ingredients and chemicals to replace high carbon emissions with sustainable algae-based ingredients.the plant is expected to be completed by the first quarter of2014, after which it will be installed at various algae culture points.biological refining process involves a challenging task of maintaining the function of different algae components, which requires a gentle process technique for mobile refineries.mobile devices also include membrane components, extraction units and a number of reaction vessels.such as nutritional proteins, oils, omega
-3
fatty acids, emulsions, pigments, antioxidants and fibers will be produced at this facility (factory).is considered a potentially sustainable source of future crop and product production. However, due to its high cost of production, it is now only able to produce on a small scale.refining and purifying algae in place can help reduce planting costs, said
TNO
.Let Algae Ingredients Get Applications
(GAIA)
is a project run by
TNO, Sabic, van Wijhe Verf
and
de Wit Oils
, which focus on this strategy.can increase the value of a thousand grams of algae by refining them and then separating purified proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
