Festo automated bioreactor moves algae-based bio-products a step closer to economic viability.
Most people think of algae as green pond scum if they think of it at all. For others, it’s potential climate gold, a source material to replace many fossil fuel-based products.
That comes with a big “if”. Algae must become cost-competitive with oil and gas. So far, that goal has eluded researchers, but perhaps not for much longer. Highly automated bio-refineries, like a scaled up version of the demonstrator Festo has built, may close or eliminate the gap.

The new Festo VZXA family of pneumatically actuated angle seat valves delivers installation, maintenance, operational, and inventory benefits thanks to a unique modular design.
When a VZXA actuator is removed for maintenance or changeover, for example, the stem, seat, and seal stay inside the valve body, allowing the process system to remain pressurized. In applications containing hazardous materials, those materials reside safely within the system, saving cleaning time and lowering health and safety risks of contamination. No other angle seat valve offers these operational benefits.
