New technology increases algal oil yield, says BioProcess Algae

June 10, 2011 |

In California, BioProcess Algae has confirmed that early laboratory studies verify an increase in yields of algal oils following treatment with VG Energy’s Metabolic Disruption Technology additives.

BioProcess Algae initially performed a Feasibility Assessment Study to establish baseline performance of VG’s technology, with algal strains provided by VG and additional strains from BioProcess Algae.

Recognizing an increase in Mean Nile Red Fluorescence, with the strongest effects seen after 48 hours, the study verifies bench-level results of VG’s lipid enhancement technology. The next step will be a Dosage Response Study, expected to be completed within a month,  followed by testing at industrial-scale studies.
