The Lodz University of Technology will co-create a flow system for collecting microalgae. The project worth over EUR 2 million will provide a solution that will make microalgae cease to be an exclusive good.

Scientists of the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TUL, together with the Team of Structural X-ray and Crystallochemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry, TUL and the Pintech company are currently working on the solution.

The innovative solution for collecting microalgae is a project of the Scottish biotechnological start-up uFraction8. It was submitted for implementation together with the Lodz University of Technology and was assessed at the top of the ranking list of the NCBR “Fast Track” call. The designed filter modules will allow for an effective and much cheaper way of obtaining microalgae from sea water.
