"State-of-the-art" Technology

Reed Mariculture uses a variety of technologies for cleaning and sterilizing our water. These include micron filtration, UV light irradiation, and ozone gas saturation. These will effectively kill any type of virus or bacteria in the water. All of the water at our facility is 100% recirculated and passes through the sterilization process on a constant basis. A custom designed computer monitoring system maintains all of these systems to ensure complete sterilization of the water.

Secure Location

Our algae growing facility is up in the foothills near San Jose, CA. It is many miles from any type of fish, shrimp, or shellfish operation and so there are no opportunities for aquaculture pathogens to be introduced. The site is used exclusively for growing plants and uses organic techniques, prohibiting any type of chemical insecticides.

Growing Process

Instant Algae is grown using sealed photobioreactor technology, preventing any type of contaminants from entering the systems.

Non-Viable Cells

Instant Algae cannot be used to start an algae culture. The cells are harvested using large centrifuges that generate over 5,000 gravities. This does not damage the cells but the will not reproduce afterward. This process ensures that the product will not introduce a new living species in your system and will put you at risk of an algae bloom if your system is heavily fertilized.
