A new site facility to house the pilot scale Pandora photobioreactor array is almost complete on the Ardnamurchan Estate. The new “shed” structure and roof are in place and the floor is to be laid shortly. The proposal is to install an array of 32 Pandora PBRs, being developed by project partner Xanthella Ltd , over the next 6 – 8 months. The algal growth system will then be used to assess scaled – up production of freshwater microalgae using renewable electricity generated on site.
