SASNET seminar on successful Indian microalgal biotechnology research

Spirulina

Two visiting Indian researchers – Dr V. Sivasubramanian and Professor N Thajuddin, held an appreciated SASNET lecture at Lund University on Monday 23 May 2016, 13.15–14.00.

The seminar, organized in collaboration with the Division of Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, Department of Technology and Society at Lund University, was entitled ”Microalgal  Biotechnology and Phycoremediation technology research in India”. The two researchers are in the forefront when it comes to research on Phycoremediation technology, dealing with how micro algae can take up nutrients and clean up waste water more efficiently than any other organisms. This quality of micro algae has been successfully exploited in cleaning industrial effluents during the last 14 years, and PERC has implemented small scale and large scale treatment plants based on algal technology in a variety of industries in India and abroad. The main advantage of this technology is it is ecofriendly and cost effective. Read more.
