Carbon Recycling

Ternion Bio's Advantage

With our Photo BioReactor system, Ternion Bio Industries offers all the inherent advantages of algae for the reduction of CO₂ build-up. These broad-based benefits include:

Algae photosynthesizes CO₂ into oxygen, making it an excellent natural “sink” for potentially harmful CO₂ emissions.
Algae grows quickly and requires minimal supervision.
When used for CO₂ recycling, algae yields end product consisting of pure oxygen and the algae itself, which can be used to produce products such as biofuels, animal feed and nutraceuticals.

In addition, the Photo BioReactor adds significant specific advantages to the process, including:

Scalability. The Photo BioReactor has a modular design that can be expanded vertically as well as horizontally, significantly increasing output without taking up much space.

Control. As a self-contained, closed-loop system, the Photo BioReactor is resilient to changes in weather or to contamination. In addition, Ternion Bio has created a way to ensure that the right amount of sunlight reaches all the algae in the Photo BioReactor system, through the use of solar tubes, mirrors and high-powered LEDs.

Flexibility in choice of algae strain. The Photo BioReactor works with any strain of algae in existence (both fresh and salt water). As a result, customers can choose their algae species based on regional needs – e.g., one strain in Utah that will be used to produce animal feed, another in San Diego destined to become biofuel, another in Pennsylvania for use in nutraceutical products. Or they can grow algae strains genetically modified for high lipid content, an important feature for biofuels. Ternion Bio Industries can adjust the parameters of the growing environment within our Photo BioReactor system to optimize mass production of any algae strain.

Efficiency. The Photo BioReactor features automated controls over all aspects of algae growth, including pH, CO₂ levels, NO₂ levels, water density, algae density and sunlight exposure.
