Ecoduna Plant – Tuesday 24^th April 2018

During the afternoon of Tuesday 24^th April, prior to the conference, a limited number of attendees will receive the unique opportunity to visit the newly expanded Ecoduna Plant.

ecoduna is a young SME founded in 2010 using proprietary  photobioreactor(PBR) technology  for microalgae biomass production. With the currently 21 employees, and its patented technology of vertically flowing PBRs (i.e. hanging gardens) ecoduna produces biomass of various algae species of high quality. Based in Austria, ecoduna is growing algae strains all year round in the demonstration plant with the goal to produce biomass for omega3 algae oil extraction. In 2017 the technology is taken to industrial scale with the construction of a 1ha production facility. The plant will be operational from 2018 on. During the site visit, both locations, the demonstration plant with the R&D set up as well as the industrial production site will be visited.

There is no extra charge to attend the site visit, but spaces are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. Please register your attendance for the site visit when booking for the conference.

BDI – BioLife Science GmbH is a company from Austria which is specialized in developing innovative, natural based ingredients, for example derived from high valuable algae-types. The 100% daugther of the BDI – BioEnergy International AG was founded in 2015 and is a producer of natural astaxanthin from the green microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis. The self-developed, closed cultivation system guarantees the constant, economic production of high-quality algae under optimal conditions, regardless of location. Particular attention was paid to energy optimisation during process development. This indoor cultivation procedure from Austria is one of the most economic in the industry. Due to the longterm experience in the field of engineering, BDI – BioLife Science provides a strong in-house expertise and offers a reliable partnership.

The last years have seen a growing trend to natural ingredients from different sources, esp. affecting the food and cosmetic market. This trend results from increasing concerns for consumer safety and regulatory issues over the introduction of synthetic chemicals into the human food and cosmetic chain. There is high flexibility in the application of natural Astaxanthin: the main areas of use include food supplements, cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry.

The microalgae „Haematococcus pluvialis“ remains the primary natural form for astaxanthin at present. This source has been utilized most extensively in human nutritional supplements and is the form on which all human clinical trials have been conducted. These human clinical trials have demonstrated tangible benefits in the areas of anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular health, eye and brain health, skin improvement and protection of skin from UV damage.

In cosmetic applications natural astaxanthin is well absorbed from skin if applied topically, as it is oil soluble and has small molecules. As pigment it provides an orange to bronze skin tone and is therefore an ideal candidate for self-tanning creams, make-up formulations, masks, after-sun applications etc. Additionally, it has benefits as strong antioxidant and provides natural UV-protection.

Algae in powders, tablets, or capsules have long been used for animal feed, nutraceutical or cosmetic applications, but their uses in the food industry are also increasing. Algae are harvested at the peak of their nutritional value. Water is removed, and a yogurt-like substance that can be processed in different ways remains. One possibility is to dry the algae paste with an industrial dryer. The result is bright green flakes that are then ground into powder. Algae powder can be used in many food products.

Algae paste is usually dried with an atmospheric, double drum dryer, which is drum drying  with an open machine at atmospheric pressure. ANDRITZ Gouda has been specializing in food processing lines based on their advanced drum drying technology.

The drum dryer is a so-called thin-film contact dryer. A thin layer of the product to be dried is applied to the outside of a rotating drum. This drum is heated on the inside by steam. When in contact with the heated surface, the liquid evaporates quickly from  the thin product layer. Steam heating provides uniform temperature distribution over the drum surface, and this results in a consistent product quality. Because of the continuous, indirect drying method and the short retention time of the product at high temperature, virtually no heat damage will occur. The viscous algae paste dries extremely well under these conditions. Taste, smell, and texture quality of the product are well accepted in the market.
