Who We Are
-
We develop photobioreactors for the cost-effective production of microalgae. In doing so, we follow a clear principle: technologies must not only function in the laboratory but also operate reliably under real-world industrial conditions. We therefore focus on robust designs, ease of maintenance, and the most efficient possible use of materials, energy, and CO₂.
Our goal is to make microalgae production more cost-effective and accessible. Through intelligent design principles and a consistent focus on practical applicability, we create systems that unite research, pilot-scale operations, and industrial production on a shared technological foundation.

Unsere Photobioreaktoren basieren auf eigens entwickelten PMMA-Komponenten, die größtenteils von uns selbst konstruiert und gefertigt werden. Patentierte Konstruktionsmerkmale, aseptische Flansche und innovative Reinigungstechnologien ermöglichen einen zuverlässigen Betrieb bei gleichzeitig niedrigen Betriebskosten.
Viele unserer technischen Lösungen wurden von Anfang an für den Einsatz im industriellen Maßstab entwickelt. Dadurch lassen sich Prozesse effizient skalieren und auf größere Produktionsanlagen übertragen.
Our photobioreactors are based on proprietary PMMA components, the majority of which we design and manufacture ourselves. Patented design features, aseptic flanges, and innovative cleaning technologies ensure reliable operation while keeping operating costs low.Many of our technical solutions were developed from the outset for industrial-scale application. This allows processes to be scaled efficiently and transferred to larger production facilities.
-
From research and pilot plants to full-scale production, our systems cover the entire development pathway. All product lines are based on the same technological foundation, enabling step-by-step scaling with minimal technical risk.
For industrial applications, we focus on low investment costs, high operational reliability, and a long service life. In doing so, we create the conditions for cost-effective, large-scale microalgae production.
Microalgae – maximum potential!
It is now well known that microalgae hold immense potential: they produce more biomass per unit of surface area than any other organism on Earth—without harming the environment; quite the opposite. High-quality substances for the food, animal feed, chemical, and energy sectors are derived from this biomass. All this is achieved using primarily CO₂ and sunlight for production.
For a more sustainable future
Algoliner’s photobioreactor systems contribute to several United Nations sustainability goals by converting CO₂ into valuable biomass, reducing resource consumption, and enabling the sustainable production of food, animal feed, and bio-based ingredients. Our goal is to combine industrial performance with long-term environmental responsibility.
Our technologies

Transparent Aseptic Flanges
Algoliner is the first company to produce transparent aseptic flanges. To realize these aseptic flanges, extensive FEM research analyses had to be conducted beforehand to validate the concept.
-
![Mobile extrusion unit]()
Mobile extrusion unit
Our mobile extrusion system enables us to produce the required pipes on-site. They can be produced in any desired length and without connectors, which reduces the risk of contamination during subsequent operation.
-

Integrated sensor mounts
With our system, any number of sensors of all types can be connected to the system without external contamination.
-
![PBR cleaning with pig]()
Pigging Technology
Thanks to our aseptic flange system, the PBR can be easily cleaned using our proprietary pigs.
The advantages of Algoliner
-
Our systems were developed to reduce resource consumption across the entire value chain. The use of durable PMMA components, the integration of CO₂ as a raw material, and the recyclability of the materials used contribute to sustainable and future-proof microalgae production.
-
Unique aseptic flanges and sophisticated design principles enable effective mechanical and chemical cleaning. This minimizes contamination, reduces maintenance requirements, and ensures high process reliability, even over long periods of operation.
-
Durable materials and robust designs form the foundation of our systems. The PMMA components used offer excellent UV resistance and are engineered for long-term use under demanding operating conditions.
-
Our technology was developed with industrial applications in mind. Through reduced material usage, efficient production processes, and high operational reliability, we create the conditions for competitive investment and operating costs.
-
From research projects and pilot plants to industrial production, our systems can be adapted to a wide range of requirements. The modular design enables customized solutions and facilitates scaling up to larger production volumes.
-
Numerous key components and processes were developed in-house by Algoliner and are protected by patents. These innovations form the basis for high-performance, cost-effective, and future-proof photobioreactor systems.
Let’s Change The Future Together!
The global population is growing. At the same time, the demand for food, energy, and raw materials is rising, as are the requirements for sustainable production. Existing resources are becoming scarcer, supply chains more fragile, and the impacts of climate change increasingly evident.
Every challenge also presents opportunities.
Microalgae are among the most promising biological resources of our time. They require no fertile soil, sequester CO₂, and can serve as a basis for food, animal feed, biochemicals, and many other products.
Our goal is to provide the technologies that unlock this potential on an industrial scale.
