Turning nutrients and CO₂ in water into valuable resources.

Vision & Mission

For Novel Generation.Handing the next generation a safe planet and a living ocean.

* In bacterial nitrification and denitrification, NO and N₂O form along the way and part escapes to the air (Kampschreur et al., Water Res 43: 4093–4103, 2009). Microalgae assimilate ammonia directly into amino acids and skip these steps.

Value Proposition

One system, three values.

Treatment, biomass and CO₂ uptake at the same time. Algae feed on the nutrients already in the water, so the growth medium costs next to nothing (harvesting and drying have their own costs).

Key Technical Differentiators

A natural process, running steadily inside a machine.

Three technologies work together to treat nutrient-laden water without stopping and turn it into biomass.

1. 1

   Algal Bloom Capture

   Recreating the algal bloom

   Under the right conditions microalgae multiply very quickly (an algal bloom). Ocean phytoplankton are estimated to photosynthesise on a scale comparable to land plants*. Bloomo puts this vigorous growth to work with selected, non-toxic strains, under control inside a closed system.

2. 2

   Selective breeding

   Selecting the right algae

   We keep a library built by non-GMO selective breeding and choose the strain that suits the water on site.

3. 3

   IoT + MLOps

   Stable, continuous, fast culture

   IoT watches the culture and MLOps (continuously updating control models with operating data) is designed to keep high-density culture running steadily.

* Land and ocean are estimated to contribute roughly equally to global net primary production (Field et al., Science 281: 237–240, 1998); much of it returns to the air through respiration within a short time.

The process

1. INNutrient-laden water and CO₂Effluent from factories and fish farms, or nutrient-polluted rivers, lakes and coasts, plus CO₂ from factories or fermentation
2. BLOOMOContinuous algae cultureSelected algae grown at high density without stopping; IoT monitors, AI adjusts operation
3. OUTTreated water and biomassCleaned water, plus algae for feed and fertilizer

Customer Benefits

What you get, site by site.

The equipment, the strains and Bloomo Cloud are the same everywhere. What changes is the water that goes in and where the output goes.

AquacultureDemonstration

In：Farm water→Bloomo→Out：Live feed / feed・Clean water

Stronger production at lower cost

Your challenge

Feed and live-feed costs, losses in hot summers, farm effluent

What you get

• Use algae grown on farm water as live feed and feed, replacing part of the fishmeal
• Ease the burden of treating farm effluent and keep operations stable
• Recover nitrogen as protein and work to cut N₂O emissions

BiogasR&D

In：Digestate・CO₂→Bloomo→Out：Fertilizer・Treated water

Turning digestate treatment into resources

Your challenge

Nitrogen-rich digestate, the cost of nitrification and denitrification, CO₂ from gas upgrading

What you get

• Developing ways to make digestate treatment lighter
• Algae absorb the CO₂ separated during upgrading

Rivers, lakes and coastsR&D

In：Nutrient-rich water→Bloomo→Out：Clean water・Fertilizer

Recovering the nutrients behind algal blooms and red tides

Your challenge

Harmful algal blooms and red tides in nutrient-rich waters, declining water quality

What you get

• Recover nitrogen and phosphorus with selected algae
• Work to reduce the nutrients behind algal blooms and red tides
• Use the recovered algae, depending on the water source and analyses, e.g. as fertilizer

Safety & Compliance

How we handle safety, quality and data

The principles we hold to, so municipalities and companies can evaluate us with confidence.

How to start

Start small, measure, then scale.

1. STEP 1Site surveyWe look at flow and water quality (nitrogen, phosphorus, COD and more), CO₂ and heat, and available space.
2. STEP 2Strain match and bench testWe test strains from our library on your actual water.
3. STEP 3PoCSmall and short, with removal, yield and other success metrics, and the criteria for going further, agreed up front.
4. STEP 4Full deploymentChoose sale, lease or licence, operated on Bloomo Cloud.
