Following successful pilot trials in 2017, Yemoja Ltd. of Israel has now established commercial production of microalgae for nutraceutical and cosmetic applications. The company developed installations for indoor cultivation and the plant is capable of propagating specific microalgae in closed systems capable of controlling pH, light intensity and spectrum and carbon dioxide emissions. Algae are produced in vertical columns so that the facility can produce a range of algae species according to required end products. The plant was designed to conserve water and energy and to minimize environmental impact.
Technology for Yemoja was developed at the Migal Galilee Research Institute in Israel.
