ALBON
The ALBON system

Algae-bacteria treatment engineered for industrial effluent

Built specifically for the variable, high-strength loads from meat processing, dairy and food manufacturing.

Modelled scale-up system

How the system works

Four steps. No site rebuild.

01

Effluent enters the ALBON module

High-strength effluent is drawn from your lagoon or primary treatment stage directly into the ALBON photobioreactor.

02

Algae and bacteria remove nitrogen and phosphorus

A stable consortium of algae and bacteria removes N and P biologically, more tolerant of load variation than algae-only systems.

03

Treated effluent discharged or recycled

Treated effluent, with N and P removal modelled up to 95%, is discharged to licence conditions or directed to on-site reuse.

04

Harvested biomass becomes biochar

Algal biomass converts to biochar on-site, a stable soil amendment with agricultural offtake value and a carbon-sequestration benefit.

The ALBON portal

Real-time monitoring. Built-in diagnostic tools.

Every deployment connects to the ALBON client portal: live visibility and control from anywhere.

✓

Live process data

Nutrient levels, flow rates and system performance in real time.

✓

Remote control

Pumps, lights and aerators, on or off from the dashboard.

✓

Diagnostic tool

Built-in diagnostic interface for system-aware troubleshooting.

✓

Compliance reporting

Data structured for direct use in licence reporting.

What deployment looks like

From site assessment to system operation

01

Site assessment

We review your effluent data, flow rates and existing infrastructure to determine integration requirements.

02

System design

We model the treatment process for your specific wastewater profile and propose a configuration sized to your site.

03

Installation

The ALBON module is manufactured off-site and installed alongside your existing lagoon. Minimal civil works required.

04

Operations and monitoring

The system is monitored continuously via ALBON's sensor network. You receive compliance reporting. We manage performance.
