International collaboration:
Dr V Sivasubramanian and Dr V V Subramanian visited Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla, Colombia, to conduct a week long Algal technology programme during 25th to 31st March 2012. This programme included conference on phycoremediation, workshop on algal isolation and cultivation and visits to industries in Colombia. Uni Norte, CORE BIOTECH and Phycospectrum join together to implement phycoremediation technology to treat industrial effluents and wastewater in Latin America. This programme was organized by the Biotechnology Research Group and the Group Rational Use of Energy and Environment Preservation, UREMA of Uni Norte. Click here to view Uni Norte Press release..

PhycospectrumConsultancy:
-
provides consultancy to industries/institutes in the following aspects:
a. Phycoremediation Industrial effluent treatment .
b. Sewage and wastewater treatment.
c. Flu gas mitigation using algal farms/systems.
d.Phycocultivation Algal farms for biomass generation. Algal biomass is an important resource for biofertilizers, bio-gas, bio-diesel,bio-ethanol, bio-methanol, nutraceuticals, pharmaceutricals, cattle and fish feed etcR & D Project supported by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, New Delhi
- A major research project supported by MNRE, New Delhi, is in progress at Phycospectrum. The main objective of this R&D project is to develop a viable technology to achieve maximum biomass productivity coupled with higher lipid production in micro algae. The research team consists of the following members:
- Principal Investogator: Dr V V Subramanian
- Co - PI: Dr.T. Leelapriya
- Research Associate: Mr G Ramu
- Research Scholar: Ms ThamilSelvi
WORLD'S FIRST PHYCOREMEDIATION PLANT
World's First Phycoremediation plant: Dr V Sivasubramanian, the PHYCOREMEDIOLOGOST, has set up the First Phycoremediation plant at SNAP Industry. Algal remediation technology helps in pH correction of the acidic effluent and complete reduction of sludge formation. SNAP is now a zero disposal company. The phycoremediation plant has been in operation from September 2006. The effluent generated by the industry is highly acidic and of very high TDS ( 25000 mg/L). The entire effluent is evaporated using slope tank. The algal biomass produced is used in Biofertilizer preparation and sold by the Company. .......(.more )
