Why should you use BS EN 17480?
The interest in algae and algae-based products or intermediates has increased significantly as a valuable source of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and several pigments. These materials are suitable for use in a wide range of applications from food and feed purposes to other sectors, such as textile, cosmetics, biopolymers, biofuel and fertilizer/biostimulants.
BS EN 17480 provides you with methods for the determination of the productivity of algae growth sites and allows for a comparison between the productivity of different algae growth sites. The reasons to compare algae growth sites can be different.
BS EN 17480 on algae and algae products helps you to identify the growth potential of a particular algae-producing site and compare it with others, to aid you in making the best possible investment.
