PlanctoLab — Microalgae Water Treatment
Biological Water Treatment

Biological water treatment designed for industrial reality.

PlanctoLab develops microalgae-based systems that help treat industrial water streams, capture nutrients, and generate biomass through a circular biological process.

Phase 01 // The Problem

Industrial water is still a liability, not a resource.

warning

The rules just changed.

The revised EU Wastewater Directive (2024/3019) cuts nitrogen and phosphorus discharge limits by half. Compliance costs are projected at up to €11.3 billion per year across Europe. Every industrial operator with a water stream is affected.

Millions of tonnes of nutrients, wasted.

Over 3 million tonnes of nitrogen and 300,000 tonnes of phosphorus reach European coastal waters every year. Most of it could be captured. Instead, conventional treatment burns energy to destroy what could be a resource.

payments

Treatment costs are rising. Value creation is not.

The cost of nitrogen losses in Europe is estimated at €70 billion per year. Conventional methods treat the problem. They don't turn it into anything useful.

Phase 02 // Our Solution

A biological engine that treats, captures, and creates.

Biomass Generation

Microalgae biomass generated through the treatment process may support selected downstream valorization pathways, including biostimulant and biofertilizer applications.
