NutriSpring® is used for aquaculture and feed product enhancement or direct application in nutritional applications. We produce 30 tons of Nannochloropsis powder and flakes per year. NutriSpring® is a 100% Dutch quality microalgae product and produced in a pristine location at the banks of the IJsselmeer at the edge of the largest protected natural area of the Netherlands. Our microalgae are grown on ancient seawater (Pleistocene 130.000 years old) which is free of contamination and heavy metals. The seawater is extracted from 80 meters below the surface. NutriSpring® is year round produced in a full controlled photobioreactor system by our dedicated team of PhD microbiologists who have 20 years of combined experience in microalgae production. The microalgae are grown on selected food grade nutrients under GMP+ certification. Natural and sustainable The AlgaSpring team developed an advanced algae production system which enables the production of premium quality marine microalgae at a competitive cost level. NutriSpring is produced environmentally friendly and no pesticides or herbicides are used. We use selected, natural algal strains and pure water and nutrient sources. Production batches are continuously monitored for quality control. AlgaSpring microalgae are cultivated in a mono-specific culture under controlled conditions in a semi-continuous process with optimum provision of nutrients, CO2, light and mixing. Cultivation and processing conditions are standardized which ensures a constant quality and a high content of valuable components in the microalgae product. AlgaSpring microalgae are produced with just daylight and no additional heating other than to keep the production facility frost free during the winter. Our marine climate zone with cool summers and mild winters ensures us of year round production at the best quality.
