What makes our system different?

Our goal with our system is to be both economically and environmentally sustainable. Our system will include to addition of algal cultivation as well as a biogas boiler and anaerobic digester. The addition of these elements will be used to help create energy for this system and generate value added products. Algae is the most abundant plant on Earth and is known to purify water by removing nitrogen and phosphorus. The algae will clean the water to be recirculated back into the fish tank. The function of the biogas boiler and anaerobic digester will be to utilizee the algae for energy to then power any energy inputs of the Aquaponics system. 

Integrated Aquaponics System Our integrated aquaponics system will include the traditional components of an aquaponics system along with the additional agal cultivation unit, biogas boiler and Anaerobic digester.
