A SPECIAL STRAIN OF ALGAE

AN ADVANCED FLUE GAS INJECTION SYSTEM

A REVOLUTIONARY NEW LED GROW LIGHT TECHNOLOGY

AN EVOLUTIONARY LOW-COST NUTRIENT

AN INNOVATIVE LOW-COST CLOSED BIOREACTOR DESIGN


PROBLEMS SOLVED


Solved the problem of expensive bioreactors

Solved the problem of light penetration into culture

Solved the problem of expensive air injection

Solved the problem of power-hungry light & heat

Isolated a unique strain of algae that super mitigates

Solved the problem of expensive nutrient

o  A special strain of algae that can thrive at up to 100% CO2 content

o  Has a wide range of pH tolerance from 4.5 to 11

o  Is a Non-GMO strain indigenous to the Chesapeake Bay

o  Is a fast grower – doubling in 22 hours in nature

o  High lipid oil content of almost 50% o  Contains a high level of high value

antioxidants Lutein and Zeaxanthin o  Isolated for us by the University of

Maryland Center for Environmental Science under a MD State grant.

KEY COMPONENTS OF THE HY-TEK BIO TECHNOLOGY A SPECIAL STRAIN OF ALGAE


o  Full floor air injection design enhances mix effectiveness

o  Generates micro bubbles which promotes rapid transfer of gas chemistry

o  Optimum bubble rise velocity increases time-in-solution for photosynthesis

o  High bubble density creates additional pathways for light penetration into the algal culture

o  Simple design reduces maintenance time and cost

o  Unique air injection material is inexpensive and readily available

KEY COMPONENTS OF THE HY-TEK BIO TECHNOLOGY AN ADVANCED FLUE GAS INJECTION SYSTEM


o  Wavelength matched to the absorption curve of the algae for maximum light energy transfer for photosynthesis

o  Optimum intensity and ratio of different wavelengths for maximum growth performance

o  Modulated light technology that takes advantage of the response time of photoreceptors to produce 600 watts of effective Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) light using only 60 watts of power, generating 90% less heat

A REVOLUTIONARY NEW LED GROW LIGHT TECHNOLOGY

KEY COMPONENTS OF THE HY-TEK BIO TECHNOLOGY


o  A liquid nutrient produced from fresh chicken manure that is high in Nitrogen & Phosphorus

o  Uses chicken manure & industrial wash water, both readily available & very inexpensive to obtain

o  Solves 2 other environmental issues while providing excellent nutrient for growing algae to mitigate GHG emissions.

o  Drives the cost of nutrient to below a penny per gallon

AN EVOLUTIONARY NEW LOW-COST NUTRIENT FROM CHICKEN MANURE & INDUSTRIAL WASH WATER



o  90% less expensive than Stainless Steel o  Light weight & foldable o  Ship using UPS/FEDEX rates o  Laminated Mylar/Kevlar Strength developed

in-house by HY-TEK Bio. o  Clear window panels for easy illumination o  Self-standing when filled with liquid o  Can be used as storage for drinking water,

fuel and other liquids o  Holds 1,800 Gallons in 4’x20’ version o  Waterproof flange base for easy servicing o  Revolutionizes large closed photo

bioreactors

Light-Water-Nutrient-CO2 Rapid growth through consumption of flue gas until light can no longer penetrate the culture.

1 Drain valve opens and a portion of the tank transfers into a settling tank for de-watering. Oxygen is captured for re-sale.

2 Water is filtered, nutrients & makeup water added and returned to the bioreactor. Algal slurry/paste is converted to product.

3 This recycles, mitigating GHG emissions 24/7, producing 50-75 lbs of high value algae/day per bioreactor at $10-$50 per pound for sale.
