SCHOTT is a global manufacturer of high-tech materials based on specialty glass. With pioneering spirit and passion, our experts are always opening up new markets and applications for 140 years. SCHOTT’s Business Unit Tubing is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of glass tubing, rods and profiles. SCHOTT Tubing provides customized products and services for international growth markets such as pharmaceuticals and electronics as well as industrial and environmental engineering, like photobioreactors (PBR). With DURAN® borosilicate glass tubing, U-bends and food-grade couplings, the BU Tubing provides ideal materials for algae cultivation in PBR systems: Smooth interior surfaces are easy to clean, protect against biocontamination and ensure food grade algae quality. With a lifetime of over 50 years and a consistently high light transmission, glass offers a cost effective and productive solution.

BrightWave specializes in the design and sale of indoor, industrial scale PBRs. They make it easy to co-locate feedstock production with manufacturing, and help organizations develop more sustainable and streamlined supply chains.

BrightWave’s patented PBRs are powered by in-water grow lights that scale algae cultivation vertically and maximize production on the smallest footprint. And they self-clean, increasing production further by eliminating down time.  

Their PBRs are already making waves in sectors like food and feed, pharma and nutraceuticals, biomaterials and fuels. They deliver customized solutions and substantial climate impacts to multiple industries, part of their mission to drive global adoption of algae as the world’s most versatile feedstock. 

BrightWave is excited to be a sponsor and attending their first AlgaEurope conference!
