Pathways

One lead case and one supporting pathway

Larchwood is the lead: a commissioned lagoon study with an identified engineer. PARC is a research partnership worth pursuing only where existing evidence leaves a customer question unanswered.

Lead market entry case

Larchwood, Iowa

Position AlgaFilm within the lagoon assessment Stockwell is leading

Recommendation: Seek consideration within Stockwell’s facilities study
Decision to resolve: Remaining treatment need, study scope and evaluation timing

Assess the lagoon treatment need alongside the planned maintenance. Use the facilities study and Iowa’s review requirements to frame a focused discussion with Stockwell.

Secondary validation pathway · South Platte Renew PARC, Colorado

Close the evidence gap behind a customer decision

Map existing evidence before pursuing a PARC study. Decision to resolve: Remaining customer question, facility fit and partnership terms.

PARC offers vendors a documented research route, three distinct influent streams and nutrient research tied to Colorado Regulation 31. That makes it a credible setting to answer a buyer question the Kingsville and Vancouver results leave open, and a study there earns its cost only when such a question exists.

Technical qualification across both pathways

AlgaFilm reports Kingsville operation on primary effluent and winter experience in Vancouver, and describes operation above freezing with heated greenhouses in colder climates. These results and requirements are reported by AlgaFilm; their fit to each site is for the responsible engineer to assess.

Each conversation should consider:

Seasonal ammonia performance
Total nitrogen behavior
Supported loading and flow
Footprint
Heating and lighting
Operating support
Lifecycle cost
