Algalif micro-algae production

An employee at a futuristic production hall of Algalif facilities, where they produce natural astaxanthin, very efficient anti-oxidant. Algalif’s enclosed photobioreactor cultivation system and its proprietary three-phase cultivation process, helps ensure optimal growth of the micro-algae and subsequently a lot of pure astaxanthin. They use heat and electricity from a nearby geothermal power plant and CO2 for the growth of their micro-algae.
