The Phyco-Pond™ is a highly versatile high-rate algal open pond (HRAP) system, designed with scalability and efficiency in mind. Engineered with optimised geometry, it enhances mixing, photosynthetic efficiency, and biomass yield while minimising power consumption.

Available in a range of sizes, from small 0.1–1 m³ systems fabricated from fiberglass molds, to industrial-scale systems constructed with geotextiles and ground works exceeding 1 m³. The Phyco-Pond™ can be tailored to meet the needs of both small-scale research projects and large-scale commercial operations.

The modular design of the Phyco-Pond allows for easily expanded capacity or parallel experiments. Its motorised paddle wheel, featuring adjustable speed, ensures homogeneous delivery of light, nutrients, and carbon dioxide throughout the system, optimizing growth conditions.

The Phyco-Pond™ can also be equipped with a full suite of monitoring and control options via Varicon Aqua’s VAS system, enabling precise management of critical parameters such as CO₂ levels, temperature, pH, optical density (OD), and dissolved oxygen (DO).

With its adaptability and Varicon Aqua’s decades of expertise in algal cultivation, the Phyco-Pond™ provides a reliable and scalable solution for achieving optimal results in algal production across a wide variety of applications
