Environmental concerns are just one of many reasons people have started to turn to alternative energy sources. Cue: biofuel. Biofuel is fuel derived from living matter, like trees or agricultural waste. Another effective source is algae. There are types of algae that contain natural oils that can be distilled into products that mimic petroleum, allowing it to act as jet fuel, gasoline, or diesel.

Aquaculture is a booming industry—you can find shellfish industries thriving in any coastal region of the United States. And shellfish aquaculture benefits our natural ecosystems. It is a sustainable and green industry, and it can help to reduce the impact of disease in wild populations. We’re proud to serve the shellfish aquaculture industry by providing flat-bottom tanks that make for the perfect solution to grow algae, which then serves as feed for shellfish.

Algae absorbs “bad” things, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, and metals, out of water systems while leaving the good in. Our trickle-down biofilters are ideal for de-gassing, oxygenating, and removing ammonia from closed-loop recirculating systems. Each unit comes complete with a lower sidewall 1-1/2” female threaded fitting, bottom support grate, middle drip plate, top drip plate, and cover.
