COMPANY PROFILE:
Seambiotic of Israel, Pioneers in Algal Carbon Sequestration for
Industrial Applications

diatoms would be cultured to produce algal powder containing high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and Docosahexanoic (DHA).

Bio-Energy
Our procedures and technology allow us to develop bio-ethanol and bio-diesel:

• High percentage of oil and carbohydrates that are efficient for the production of bio-energy.
• Our technology and the use of IEC's resources for the production of our high quality algae that can be produced at a very low cost.


Our Technology
Algal-derived applications have already proven to be of value for the production of fine chemicals, supply of food and bio-diesel.

Certain microalgae are presently cultivated mixotrophically for commercial DHA extraction from the algal cells; however, there is no autotro phic cultivation of microalgae for EPA production. Seambiotic developed a technology to grow EPA/DHA-rich marine microalgae in autotrophic culture by using resources of the Israeli Electric Power Plant. The unique cultivation is low cost high algal production process that makes the production of the PUFA highly feasible.

The Company
Seambiotic, found in 2003 with an objective to grow and process marine microalgae using a revolutionizing ecologically based, environmental system.

Our exclusive technology developed by Seambiotic in collaboration with the Israeli Electric Company using the Israel Electric Company's smokestack for CO2 .

As we have already developed and produced algae, our main goal is to market algae as a nutritional supplement for humans as well as animals and bio-energy concentrating on a few marine unicellular algae containing high value products.

Seambiotic, currently located in Ashkelon on IEC property, is running a pilot for 18 months, at the moment the pilot includes eight (8) open algae ponds.

The pilot run by Seambiotic has proved much success and reached an impressive concentration of algae containing high percentage PUFA, oil and carbohydrates in a very short term, which p romotes the production of bio-energy.


Our Products
Nutritional supplement
Our product is high - value marine microalgae containing Omega - 3 PUFA.

Microalgae can be used to produce the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) EPA and DHA that are not present in higher plants. The PUFA such as EPA and DHA together with other fatty acids constitute a group called omega-3.

At the first stage, certain algae of the class Eustigmatophyce and
