Sea lettuce algae gives 500 T per hectare?
Algae such as sea lettuce contain considerable amounts of biomasses, which, amongst other things, may be utilised in the production of biofuels.Whereas traditional farming practices only render around 10 tons of dry material per hectare, sea lettuce would be able to contribute up to 500 tons per hectare. - Read More

New Biomass Extraction Equipment Increases Yields for Contract R&D, Toll Processing
A new biomass extraction processing line being assembled at POS Pilot Plant will maximize the amount of oil extracted from biomass, yield profitable by-products, and recycle the solvent used during processing. Depending on biomass composition, extraction capacity will approach 2 tonnes of dried biomass per day - making the technology ideal for contract R&D at the pilot plant scale, as well as for small scale specialty toll processing. - Read More
