The Phyco-Lift™ is an advanced airlift-column photobioreactor specifically designed for lab and pilot-scale algal production, ensuring optimal conditions for both research and commercial applications.
Its robust and modular construction allows for easy customisation and scalability, catering to a wide range of operational needs without compromising performance.
The Phyco-Lift™ offers both airlift and column mixing configurations. By creating dynamic flow patterns which promote uniform nutrient distribution and superior gas exchange, the Phyco-Lift can achieve exceptional algal growth rates.
The inherently low-shear nature of airlift mixing also enables the cultivation of typically difficult-to-grow microalgae species and macroalgae, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications in both commercial and research settings.
In particular, the Phyco-Lift™ excels in the scale-up of flask/ precision lab equipment trials where precise control over cultivation parameters is critical, such as investigating strain-specific growth behaviours, optimising culture conditions, and Its robustness and versatility allows researchers to explore innovative approaches in algal biotechnology at larger scale.
The Phyco-Lift™ comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of monitoring and control options—including sensors for pH, temperature, optical density (OD), and dissolved oxygen (DO). All control options can be fully integrated into Varicon Aqua’s VAS control units and auxiliary equipment, enabling full control over process monitoring, resource delivery, and harvesting.
As with all of our products, tailored design solutions and dedicated after-sales support allow customers to be confident in the success of their algal production process.
