www.wplgroup.com/aci
ACI’s 6th annual European Algae Biomass Conference will once again bring
together senior executives from industry and academia to discuss the latest
commercial and technical developments, challenges and research break-
throughs throughout the entire algae value chain.
The conference will have a heavy focus on case study examples of latest
technologies in operation in the global algae industry and also includes an
exclusive dual site visit tour on 19th & 21st of April 2016. Join us to discuss
the technical challenges faced when optimising the cultivation of algae,
study the current and future commercial markets for algae products and
the challenges faced on the road to commercialisation including the views
from a number of different end markets.
Key Topics:
Culture Management & Crop Protection
Cultivation Systems: The Limits of Heterotrophy vs Autotrophy
Optimisation of the Biomass Extraction – Harvesting Still a Big Issue
Algae Research, Development, Demonstration & Deployment Projects
European Regulation Regarding Microalgae Addressed to Feed, Food and Nutraceuticals
Moving from R&D - How to Attract Investments Necessary to Upscale
What Are the Most Successful Algae Products in Europe and Worldwide?
Microalgae as a sustainable way to treat wastewater
Why You Cannot Miss This Event?
The two day conference will comprise of a series of informative formal
presentations from senior industry executives and experts, interactive
panel discussions and excellent networking opportunities allowing you to
