Can the GreenNRG system use feed water streams that are high in nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen?
Global NRG is actively pursuing several opportunities where nutrient-rich water feed streams will be used to provide some or all of the nutrients needs of the algae farm. Streams which have a potential to be used in this way include runoff from animal facilities and treated wastewater. *PHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis is the process by which plants utilize the energy in the suns rays to produce energy and new plant matter (biomass). Photosynthesis is the base reaction supplying the vast majority of energy used by plants and animals on earth. In photosynthesis, energy (photons) from the suns rays converts carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrate plus oxygen. The carbohydrate can be converted to protein or fat. Solar energy is spread along a wide range of wavelengths, of which only a portion is useable for photosynthesis. The wavelengths useable by plants are known as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and include about 45-50% of the total solar energy. Energy requirements of the p
