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.

BrightWave specializes in the design and sale of indoor, industrial-scale photobioreactors (PBRs). They enable the co-location of feedstock production and manufacturing, helping organizations build more sustainable, resilient, and efficient supply chains.

BrightWave’s patented PBRs use in-water grow lights to scale algae cultivation vertically and maximize production within a minimal footprint. The self-cleaning design reduces downtime and increases overall productivity.

BrightWave has also launched a joint venture, BrightCharm Proving Ground, to help companies scale algae-based innovations — providing a pathway from pilot testing to commercial production and accelerating product development across the biomanufacturing value chain.

The company’s PBRs are already deployed across sectors like food & feed, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, biomaterials, fuels and wastewater treatment.
