2023–24
Founded. Lab-scale testing completed.
Lab-scale prototype built and algae–bacteria nutrient removal confirmed at bench scale.
2025
Deployed in the field.
Pilot system at Wiley Park, Canterbury Bankstown. Independent monitoring confirmed blue-green algae suppression and nutrient load reduction.
2026
First commercial deployments.
Paid dairy pilot confirmed. Commercial discussions progressing with agri-food operators across meat processing and dairy.
2027+
Scaling across Australia.
Expanding modular deployments across dairy, meat processing, and nutrient-sensitive waterways.
Blue-green algae suppressed. Nutrient load reduced.

Wiley Park South Pond – the problem being solved
01
Algae
Suppressed
Blue-green algae cell counts reduced while the ALBON system was operational.
02
Nutrient load
Reduced
Water quality and nutrient load improvements recorded across all monitoring periods.
03
Results
Validated
Independently confirmed by Canterbury Bankstown Council environmental officers.
“Cell counts of blue-green algae species were reduced while your equipment was operational, which did help the overall pond system.”

Harvested biomass locks carbon in the soil
Algal biomass converts to biochar on-site, a stable soil amendment that sequesters carbon for decades. For every tonne of biochar produced, ALBON will capture approximately 2.8 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere.
