Can your system grow diatoms?

Yes, most diatoms grow very well in our system. Our photobioreactors allow customers to grow diatoms consistently at incredible densities without crashing, because the automated media addition and closed loop controls allow diatoms to grow exponentially without nutrient limitation. This in turn means that the diatoms grown will be full of omega-3 fatty acids and rich in colour under a microscope.
