Algae production around the clock
Trend-setting production plant for microalgae
Near the Croatian capital Zagreb, Phyox has built a trend-setting production plant for microalgae. Since the end of 2021, algae have been produced there on a commercial scale. As a partner with know-how, Endress+Hauser supplied not only the process instrumentation, but also the automation technology.
Production plant of Phyox d.d. in Novskas, Croatia
The Promag 10D electromagnetic flowmeter monitors the speed of the algae suspension as it circulates through the system.
Customer Value
-
Algae production at any time of day or night, 365 days a year
-
Consistently high product quality through continuous monitoring of all relevant process parameters
-
Permanent monitoring of the process - even from another location
-
Maximum process operation time thanks to precalibration in the lab and quick on-site sensor replacement
“Endress+Hauser has supported us in the implementation of our idea from the very beginning, starting with planning and development of prototypes all the way to industrial application.”

Customer challenge
Ensure high plant availability and a stable production process with consistently high product quality, and preferably around the clock.
Realization
In order to reliably control the growth and production process, all relevant process parameters must be monitored continuously and precisely. The combination of Phyox‘s patented technology with Endress+Hauser‘s reliable instrumentation ensures smooth production around the clock.
Instrumentation
CO2 concentration is monitored indirectly with the measurement of the pH value using Memosens CPS71E
Cell concentration is monitored with Memosens turbidity sensor Turbimax CUS52D
Conductivity is measured with Memosens CLS82D
Multichannel transmitter Liquiline CM444 to connect up to four Memosens sensors
Flow rate monitoring using Proline Promag 10D electromagnetic flowmeter
Automation
Fresh water supply from an osmosis system and dosing fertilizer are fully automated
Control cabinet containing operation panel, control technology and DSL modem for remote access
