Phyco-Pond

Phyco-Pond

The Phyco-Pond is a high rate algal pond (HRAP) manufactured by Varicon Aqua according to optimised geometric considerations which impact rate of mixing, photosynthetic efficiency, power consumption and biomass yield. Smaller systems are fabricated from a fibre glass mould, whilst larger systems comprise of a levelled and compacted solid matrix, onto which an impermeable geotextile is overlaid. The process flow is mixed via a motorised paddle wheel ensuring homogenous delivery of light, nutrients and carbon dioxide.
