Scaling-up Services:

Scaling up seaweed cultivation requires integrating biology, engineering, and operations into a reliable, high-performance system. Totally Seaweed provides technical expertise to help companies move from pilot scale to commercial production with confidence, moving faster with lower risk.

1. SITE & INFRASTRUCTURE

• Site Selection
  Identify optimal locations based on water quality, light, logistics, regulatory constraints, and cost structure.

• Vessel Design
  Design cultivation ponds, tanks, and raceways tailored to species biology, flow dynamics, and operational goals.

• Nursery Design & Operations
  Create efficient, biosecure nursery and unialgal systems for starting stock, harvest and transport biomass efficiently.

2. WATER & NUTRIENTS

• Seawater Flow Requirements
  Determine exchange rates, and plumbing design for healthy, high-quality biomass.

• Water Movement
  Optimize boundary-layer conditions, and hydrodynamics to maximize productivity, whether induced by paddle-wheels or aeration.

• Nutrient Optimization
  Develop nutrient delivery strategies to support high productivity without enhancing epiphytic overgrowth.

• Lighting Considerations
  Optimize spectrum, intensity, and photoperiod for species-specific requirements.
