Description
SABANA was a five-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at developing a large-scale integrated microalgae-based biorefinery for the production of bio stimulants, biopesticides and feed additives, in addition to biofertilizers and aquafeed.
Tangible results: The project developed the first fully microalgae-driven wastewater treatment plant in Europe. It also sparked a number of innovations including biomass harvesting and processing technologies by GEA Westfalia, and microalgae biomass processing of feed additives by AIA, which boosts production of algae feed sources.
Application/relevance: The technology built by Biorizon Biotech produces clean biomass for high value applications, while the technology built by FCC Aqualia is used for wastewater treatment through microalgae producing biomass for low-value applications.
