Agri-food processors such as meat plants and dairies face tightening discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus, while their existing lagoon systems are not designed to meet these standards. Conventional treatment relies on high energy aeration, chemical dosing, and generates large volumes of sludge, leading to high operating costs and environmental impact.

Albon provides a modular algae‑bacteria treatment system that can be retrofitted onto existing wastewater lagoons without major civil works. The biological process removes nitrogen and phosphorus continuously, eliminating the need for chemical dosing and reducing energy consumption compared with traditional aeration. Harvested algal biomass is converted on‑site into biochar, creating a sellable soil amendment and sequestering carbon. Real‑time sensor data and a cloud‑based client portal give operators live visibility, remote control, diagnostic tools, and ready‑to‑use compliance reporting. The solution delivers lower operating costs, reduced sludge disposal, and a circular value stream for agri‑food facilities.
