Nevada company prepares to commercialize algae bioreactor By Lisa Gibson

Nevada-based W2 Energy Inc., a green energy equipment developer, expects to have its patented algae bioreactor up and running in Guelph, Ontario, in mid-September, according to CEO Mike McLaren, after which time, the company will begin selling its bio-oil and searching for partners to help commercialize the bioreactor itself. “Our company strategy is joint venture instead of equipment sales,” McLaren said.
The Sunfilter bioreactor will grow algae to produce bio-oil for biofuels and will be used to sequester carbon dioxide from the company’s waste-to-energy processes. It also can be sold separately to algae producers, biodiesel producers, labs, aquaculture companies, and coal and petroleum plants, according to W2. A purchase cost for the equipment, which took a couple years to develop, has not been established, McLaren said.
Inside the bioreactor, low-power ultraviolet lights, in combination with the gases, feed the algae so it grows and fills the tubes with blooms, according to W2’s Web site. When the blooms have reached an appropriate density, a set of magnetic rings inside the tubes scrapes the blooms clean and pushes the algae to the upper manifold, where compressed air pushes it out. The algae is then compressed, dried and then either gasified or fed into a biodiesel reactor to produce biodiesel.
