Instead, clean, pure sources of mineral nutrients are used. Premium quality minerals like nitrogen, potassium, iron and essential trace elements nourish a consistent high quality spirulina. Long paddlewheels continuously mix the pond water for optimum growth. Continuous fresh harvest During the growing season, April through October, ponds are harvested every day. In the peak summer sun, harvesting occurs 24 hours a day, around the clock, to keep up with the explosive growth rate.
Pumps send algae rich water to the sealed harvest building.
Spirulina is separated from the water by a progression of screens. A 15 minute journey from ponds to dry powder Spirulina takes a quick trip through the stainless steel harvest and drying system, never touched by human hands. The first screen filters out pond debris. The next screens harvest the microscopic algae. The nutrient rich water is recycled back to the ponds.
