EWS ALGAE A4 “The Algae Appliance” Process and Equipment Description Background Based on OriginOil’s proprietary Electro Water Separation™ (EWS) technology, EWS Algae™ A4 (“the Algae Appliance™”), is an entry-level, low-cost algae harvester providing a low energy, chemical-free, continuous flow ‘wet harvest’ system to efficiently dewater, and concentrate the microalgae. The A4’s flow rate is variable from 2 to 12 liters per minute (.5 to 3 GPM), with the ability to remove greater than 99% of the initial water volume at the harvesting stage. The A4 will operate either continuously or intermittently on a wide variety of microalgae strains. The system is extremely well suited for testing aimed at the development of commercial scale processes. Patents Pending This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License

Features and Benefits Features Processes algae water directly No pre-concentrating or dewatering required Capital and operating savings Electrical pulsing process Organically pure algae concentrate, process water Low energy electromagnetic pulsing system Total energy less than 0.7 kWh per cubic meter Operating savings, consumables minimized Integrated biomass concentrator Ability to remove up to 99% of the water from the algae Uniform intermediate feedstock Sanitized concentrate Greatly extended shelf life Product can be easily shipped offsite for processing High continuous throughput...

As the raw algae passes through the EWS Algae, it is subjected to tuned electromagnetic pulses. The system operation consists of two stages: - First stage: high-flow, low-energy, chemical-free flocculation. Second stage: ability to remove up to 99% of the water. (Optional devices are available to achieve higher solids concentration downstream from the EWS Algae.) Product Specifications - Flow rates variable based upon operator controlled settings: – Maximum flow rate of 12 LPM (3 GPM) – processing 18,000 liters per day in continuous harvest. – Sufficient for a 90,000 liter growth facility...
