Field visit of microalgae production plant

Field visit of microalgae production plant

The "Field visit of microalgae production plant" took place on November 2019, in the framework of the LIFE ALGAECAN project. Taking advantage of the monitoring meeting of the LIFE ALGAECAN project, a field visit to the demonstration plant of the project was organised.

CARTIF researchers Jesús Mª Martín and Lidia Garrote gave a presentation on the main characteristics of the microalgae production technology and the final product. Finally, a visit was made to the demonstration plant so that the attendees could see first-hand how well a technology that manages to treat wastewater through the growth of microalgae works. They were also able to see how the end product (algae-based product) obtained in the process can be used, among other things, as a biofertiliser.
