I-Phyc

I-Phyc's unique system uses microalgae and cutting-edge technology to remove nutrients (phosphorus and ammonia) and other contaminants while locking away carbon and creating sustainable products from municipal wastewater.

I-Phyc’s goal is to clean up the rivers and lakes of the world, using the natural power of algae.

Approximately 50% of the oxygen in every breath you take was created by algae – they are a HUGE store to lock away carbon and a producer of oxygen.

We utilise a wide number of species of common, naturally occurring algae, that are found in most watercourses. The I-Phyc process industrialises the use of these same algae, developing polycultures and by maintaining this diverse range of organisms working together, the treatment system has a built-in level of robustness and resilience.

A diverse range of algae gives greater flexibility to the technology and its ability to quickly remove multiple nutrients and contaminants in a single process.
