Developed and scaled on an industrial scale.
At Hub Dresden-Hellerau, cultivation, harvesting, filling and application development take place under one roof. This is where we create the processes that further ALGENWERK plants adopt.

From reactor to recipe.
Every step takes place in Dresden – from the light in the reactor to the chilled container in your kitchen or production.
- 01
Cultivate
Spirulina (Limnospira maxima) grows in closed, illuminated photobioreactors. Parameters relevant to growth and quality are continuously controlled.
- 02
Harvest
The biomass is harvested gently and concentrated to a fresh, creamy paste – without drying.
- 03
Fill
Chilled filling into jars or bulk containers; shipped exclusively in an uninterrupted cold chain at +2 to +7 °C.
- 04
Apply
Cold for colour and function, frozen for ice cream and convenience food, hot for roasted aromas – with application support and recipe suggestions from our recipe lab.
High purity instead of open ponds.
Closed, highly automated photobioreactors from our own plant engineering instead of open ponds; every batch documented.
- <10² CFU/g
- Total aerobic count; spore-forming bacteria not detectable.
- ISO 9001 · HACCP
- Certified quality management and HACCP – from culture to filling.
- 5 weeks
- Minimum shelf life, chilled in the unopened container; frozen for up to 12 months.
