AUSAME LLC Unveils Revolutionary Staghorn Algae Bioreactor for Sustainable Aquaculture & Research

PORTLAND, OR – November 8, 2023 – AUSAME LLC, a pioneering biotechnology company based in Portland, Oregon, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking staghorn algae bioreactor system, designed to dramatically improve algae cultivation for a wide range of applications, including sustainable aquaculture, biofuel production, and cutting-edge research. Located at 17700 SW Upper Boones Ferry Rd, #135, Portland, OR, 97224-7082, and reachable at 518-846-5213, AUSAME is dedicated to developing innovative and environmentally responsible solutions for a rapidly changing world. For years, growing algae efficiently has been a real headache. Traditional methods, like open ponds, are prone to contamination, require a ton of space, and can't consistently deliver the algae quality needed for serious applications. AUSAME’s staghorn algae bioreactor tackles these problems head-on. It's not just a tank, it's a carefully engineered system designed to make algae thrive. What Makes AUSAME’s System Different? Think of a staghorn coral – that's actually where the inspiration comes from! AUSAME’s bioreactor uses a unique branched, tubular design. Instead of a big, flat surface, algae grow inside a network of tubes, maximizing light exposure and gas exchange. Here's a breakdown of the key features: Increased Surface Area: The branched structure creates a significantly larger surface area for algae growth within a smaller footprint. More algae, less space needed. Simple as that. Enhanced Light Penetration: The tubular design ensures that light reaches all the algae, even deep inside the system. This means faster growth and higher productivity. No more shaded algae struggling to survive. Efficient Gas Exchange: The design promotes excellent gas exchange – CO2 in and oxygen out – which is critical for algae photosynthesis. Happy algae make more biomass! Reduced Contamination Risk: The closed system significantly minimizes the risk of contamination from unwanted organisms, meaning cleaner, higher-quality algae. No more battling unwanted guests. Easy to Scale: AUSAME’s system is modular, meaning you can start small and easily expand as your needs grow. Whether you're a researcher doing lab-scale experiments or a large-scale aquaculture operation, we've got you covered. Automated Control System: We've built in an intelligent control system that monitors and adjusts key parameters like temperature, pH, and nutrient levels, ensuring optimal growth conditions. Set it and (almost) forget it! What Can You Do With This Algae? The applications for high-quality algae are huge. AUSAME’s system is designed to help unlock those possibilities. Sustainable Aquaculture: Algae are a natural and nutritious food source for fish and shellfish. AUSAME’s bioreactor allows aquaculture farms to grow their own algae on-site, reducing reliance on expensive and unreliable external suppliers. This means healthier animals, lower costs, and a more sustainable operation. Think of it as a farm-to-table approach for fish food. Biofuel Production: Algae are a promising source of renewable biofuel. AUSAME’s system increases algae biomass production, making biofuel production more economically viable. It’s a step towards a greener future, powered by algae! Nutraceuticals & Cosmetics: Many algae species are rich in valuable nutrients and compounds used in nutraceuticals (health supplements) and cosmetics. Our system allows for controlled cultivation of specific algae strains, ensuring consistent quality and purity. Wastewater Treatment: Certain algae can effectively remove pollutants from wastewater. AUSAME’s bioreactor can be integrated into wastewater treatment systems, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly solution. Scientific Research: Researchers use algae for a wide range of studies, including photosynthesis, genetics, and environmental monitoring. Our system provides a reliable and controlled environment for conducting cutting-edge research. Addressing the Challenges of Algae Cultivation “We saw a real gap in the market,” says [Name and Title of a key person at AUSAME – Please replace this]. “Existing algae cultivation methods were either inefficient, expensive, or prone to contamination. We wanted to develop a system that was scalable, sustainable, and provided consistent, high-quality algae.” Traditional open pond systems, while seemingly simple, are susceptible to environmental fluctuations, contamination, and require significant land area. Closed photobioreactors, while offering better control, are often expensive to build and operate. AUSAME’s staghorn design strikes a balance between cost-effectiveness, scalability, and performance. Looking Ahead AUSAME LLC is committed to pushing the boundaries of algae biotechnology. We’re currently working on optimizing the system for different algae species and exploring new applications for algae biomass. “We believe algae have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries,” adds [Another name and title – Please replace this]. “We’re excited to be at the forefront of this emerging field and to help our customers unlock the full potential of algae.” Availability & Contact Information AUSAME LLC’s staghorn algae bioreactor systems are available for purchase and customization.
