Water Management
Efficient Water Usage
The recirculating production system is designed to ensure the efficient utilisation of water
resources throughout the entire production process. Water is carefully managed, filtered and
recycled within the closed system, minimising the need for additional water inputs and
reducing overall water consumption. Furthermore, the design of cleaning and washdown
procedures takes into account the objective of minimising water consumption.
Seawater Collection
Certain species intended for production grow in saline environments. Salt water utilised in
production will exclusively originate from operators who possess a valid water collection
permit. External auditing and certification mitigates the risk of unacceptable ecological
impacts. Permit currency shall be audited in accordance with the Annual Audit Schedule.
Nutrient Management
Optimising Nutrient Utilisation
The media formulation utilised is a widely adopted recipe for algae cultivation, including
algae intended for human consumption. All nutritional components are agricultural-grade
fertilisers which are used extensively as fertilisers for food crops, including foliar
applications, with no withholding periods specified. The media formulation, including
contaminant levels, adheres to the standards outlined in the Code of Practice for the Naming
and Describing of Fertilisers and for the Levels of Contaminants in Fertilisers (Biosecurity
Regulation 2016).
Extensive species-specific research has been conducted to ascertain the optimal media
addition rate, ensuring the prevention of nutrient accumulation while avoiding any limitations
on algal growth. Cell analytics are employed to accurately calculate the appropriate dosage
of media, effectively mitigating the risk of nutrient buildup.
In addition, the water nitrate level will be continuously monitored with an ideal range of 1-5
ppm and an upper limit of 10 ppm.
Nutrient Disposal
Media concentrate shall be used solely for its intended purpose. If, for any reason, it cannot
be used as intended, the services of a professional waste disposal provider shall be
engaged.
