|---|---|---|---|
| Avalgo |
2016 VD validation |
[ Waste & recycling ] | Bio technologies, Fertilizers from wastewater, waste or other sources |
| Its main activity is to clean the algae of the ports and beaches by means of a system of aspiration and mowing. These algae are then transported by small big-bags submerged to the port. From there, they are discharged in a special machine that separates the water from the seaweed (wringer). The algae thus reduced in volume and mass, are recovered for drying and processed into animal feed, or organic fertilizer. | |||
