Micro Organic
Objectives
We intend to increase the use of micro-organic products for human and animal consumption along with improving the quality and yields of plant-based agriculture.
This is done through our focus on product research, innovation and creating partnerships to optimise product evaluation and development.
Goals
Algae are some of the most productive organisms on Earth.
They’re able to transform the sun’s energy into a huge range of useful compounds all while absorbing runoff, sequestering CO2, and improving ecosystems.
Our goals is to accelerate a sustainable future, maintaining biodiversity, protect the environment, reduce carbon footprint and innovate.
We ignite positive change.
Technologies
Footprint Biotechnologies Ltd uses green technology
biorefineries with an efficient and cost-effective extraction process.
We are committed to Research & Development for the improvement and increased use of microalgae.
Natural Products extraction process
At Footprint Biotechnologies we use the Blue-Green Algae Arthrospira platensis which also known as Spirulina for the production and extraction of the natural pigment Phycocyanin.
Raceways
Raceways technology is used for the large scale production of our spirulina biomass.
The pond is divided into a rectangular grid, with each rectangle containing one channel in the shape of an oval, similarly to an automotive raceway circuit.
Each rectangle contains a paddle wheel to make the water flow continuously around the circuit.
Membrane Technology
Membrane Filtration technology is one of the most advanced methods for microalgae biomass harvest and concentration.
The use of this system increases process performance, reduces costs, saves energy and water and can create new sustainable revenue streams from By-products.
Drying Process
After harvesting and concentration, the Spirulina biomass is dried using non-intensive technology.
For storage and preventing losing the nutritional quality, Arthrospira is dried till water content is reduced to the minimum.
Convective drying is used to obtain thin plates or cylinders.
Ultrafiltration
We obtain food-grade quality Phycocyanin Pigments through an extraction process which employs ultrafiltration technology.
The purity of Phycocyanin is the key factor for its application in the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.
The purification processes we have adopted achieves food-grade purity.
Premium Biotechnological products
The organic products are supplied in different formats: as dried powder, this plates or cylinders, pigments or soluble.
Dried Spirulina
Following the drying process, Spirulina biomass is supplied as dried powder delivering a source of nutrients for human and animal consumption.
Soluble Phycocyanin
We obtain soluble Phycocyanin and food grade quality Phycocyanin Pigments through an extraction process using ultrafiltration technology.
Dry and soluble Phycoerythrin
The same production and ultrafiltration extraction process is used to extract the natural pigment Phycoerythrin in dry and soluble format.
