Solution Recovery Services' pilot plant for algae oil extraction allows the company to support clients who do not have their own extraction facilities by offering toll processing of large quantities of algae. SRS also has a bench top system, which allows for screening of small samples to identify the true oil (lipid) content of the algae species. Both the Pilot Plant and the bench top system employ new techniques for fractionation of algae, which were developed by SRS; providing for the highest recovery of lipids for biofuel production.
SRS leverages more than 15 years of custom separations development, and implementation and operation of systems at more than 2,000 client sites to provide the algae biofuels industry an array of services to help monetize their algae growth and fuel production.
