BEDFORD, MA — (Marketwired) — 12/20/16 — is developing a new PEF (pulsed electric field) system that offers a non-chemical solution to .
applies 1 to 20 µs very high voltage pulses that create a 1 to 50 kV/cm high voltage field across a liquid that induces in microbes, plant, and animal cells. Depending upon the desired effect, PEF voltage intensity lyses the cell membranes in plant cells or can selectively kill predators in predator control, while having little impact on the microalgae cells themselves.
Capable of eliminating predators which can significantly add to the cost of growing algae at commercial scale because they can “crash” a pond in hours, the Diversified Technologies– PEF System is a non-chemical, low electric field process that can decrease the cost of algal production and extraction. The process is being developed in cooperation with the Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) at Arizona State University.
Diversified Technologies– PEF System is priced from $25,000.00 and is being funded under a USDA SBIR grant.
