EWS ALGAE A60 The mid-sized algae harvester for distributed architectures Process and Equipment Description Background The EWS Algae Model A60 is ideally suited to distributed harvesting architectures, where individual A60 units can be assigned to each manage a pond or bioreactor assembly of up to 500,000 liters. The benefit of this architecture is that, where growth modules are shut down for maintenance or other reasons, the corresponding harvester doesn’t have to be run, which maintains optimum capacity sizing. Additionally, each harvester is a backup for the rest. Based on OriginOil’s proprietary Electro Water Separation™ (EWS) technology, EWS Algae™ A60 is a low-cost algae harvester providing a low V2013Q3b – 12 Aug 2013 Patents Pending This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License

energy, chemical-free, continuous flow ‘wet harvest’ system to efficiently dewater and concentrate the microalgae. The A60’s flow rate is variable up to 60 liters per minute (16 GPM), with the ability to remove greater than 99% of the initial water volume at the harvesting stage. The A60 can operate either continuously or intermittently on a wide variety of microalgae strains. 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...

When ready for harvesting, the dilute microalgae culture is fed directly from the growth systems into the EWS Algae without any prior pretreatment or concentration. Each system is equipped with its own integrated control system that manages operational settings for flocculation of the algae cells and flotation and separation of the algae cells from the water. 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...
