Algal Scientific Corp., a U.S. developer of algal biomass for use in fertilizer and biofuels, said it’s seeking $3 million to help produce algae that remove pollutants from industrial sewage.
The Plymouth, Michigan-based company is raising $500,000 to complete demonstration plants and will seek the remaining funds in the next six to nine months, Chief Science Officer Geoff Horst said in a telephone interview. The plants will use algae to treat wastewater by soaking up pollutants including nitrogen and phosphorus, found in fertilizers.
