Spirulina algae production. Spirulina is a blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) credited with various medicinal and dietary properties,from high protein and vitamin content,to being an energy booster and a treatment for ailments from diabetes to depression. The alga is grown here in ponds heated by an electric generator running off the methane generated from effluent from a nearby pig farm. Carbon dioxide from the methane combustion is fed back into the system to boost the algal growth. The spirulina is pressed and dehydrated before being packaged for sale | |
