Otsuka Techbet365 ルーレット launches OT-Algae, a resin-bag type microalgae culture device as a part of environmentally friendly manufacturing

Otsuka Techbet365 ルーレット Corporation (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Kanji Tsukii; "Otsuka Techbet365 ルーレット"), a subsidiary of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Shinichi Ogasawara), anbet365 ルーレットunces that it has launched a resin-bag type microalgae culture device OT-Algae, as a part of environmentally friendly manufacturing, in April.

OT-Algae is a microalgae cultubet365 ルーレット photobiobet365 ルーレットactor^*1 which uses a bet365 ルーレットngle-use polyethylene bag as a culture tank. Compared to the glass type culture vessel, which is the current mainstream of closed-system, this product allows for operational flexibility by lowering the cost for the installation and cleaning and is also expected to reduce the risk of breakage caused by natural disasters, etc. Additionally, for the circulation of the culture medium, the air-lift method^*2 which uses a ventilation air has been adopted. Because this product does bet365 ルーレットt use stirring blade, it is less likely to cause mechanical shear to microalgae cells and to cause damage to the culture. Furthermore, the device can increase the culture scale relatively easily by connecting each bag, which is suitable for the large-scale culture.

Microalgae are expected to be resources of supplements, foods, cosmetics, fibers, feeds, pharmaceuticals, jet fuels, etc. At the same time, absorption of carbon dioxide and water purification, which are the secondary effects of the culture, are attracting attention. Against this background, Otsuka Techbet365 ルーレット applied its own infusion film bag techbet365 ルーレットlogy and conducted joint research on microalgae culture with Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc., Shikoku Algae Research Institute LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) and JERA Co., Inc. to develop this product.

The Otsuka Techbet365 ルーレット will continue to promote sustainable manufacturing as an environmentally friendly manufacturer along with strengthening the environmental initiatives by the introduction of solar power generation systems, tree planting activities and installation of 100% renewable energy-derived electricity to all domestic manufacturing facilities based on the Otsuka Group's goal of "reducing CO₂ emisbet365 ルーレットons by 50% by 2028 compared to 2017," toward the realization of a low carbon society.

The Otsuka Group is united to aim to contribute to the realization of a low-carbon society and eventually a sustainable society through the application of new techbet365 ルーレットlogies and solutions.

*1 An apparatus which cultivates photosynthetic organisms such as microalgae and generates organic resources produced by photosynthebet365 ルーレットs. It is clasbet365 ルーレットfied broadly into two types: the open-pond system, which uses artificial ponds or pools, and the closed-pond system, which uses tubes or plates.

*2 A system which sends air bet365 ルーレットto a tube and circulates water by the power of the air.
