BSX-ASL
The BSX-ASL hybrid photobioreactor exploits sunlight and artificial light generated by a high-efficiency LED cover. The base unit is composed of a modular process skid featuring 32 photobioreactors (28,000 l; footprint <200 m²)
BSX-SLP
The BSX-SLP solar concentrator photobioreactor takes solar radiation and directs it into the photobioreactors via optical fibers and diffuser tubes. This system allows natural radiation to be used through a “light dilution” mechanism. The BSX-SLP reactor is ideal for cultivation in sites with high levels of direct normal irradiation (DNI).
BIO-BOX
A new compact reactor available in different volumes, the BIO-BOX is equipped with the best technologies. Easy to use and simple to maintain in all its aspects.
- Scalable and modular
- Work in synergy with existing plants
- Make use of industrial by-products
- Offer a high level of automation
- Manage the light intensity and spectra
- 24/7 production
The integrated ASL system allows cultivation in climate zones which would otherwise not be favorable.
The presence of an integrated LED cover on the top portion of the bioreactor makes this system suitable both for outdoor and indoor installations.
In order to guarantee even light distribution, we have patented a light tube system which allows gradients of luminous intensity to be avoided along the profile of the bioreactor.
On the basis of the cultivation specifications, we design modules which can be customized to the customer’s requirements, both as regards the volume and dimensions of the photobioreactors and the light spectra.
BSX-SLP
The BSX-SLP solar concentrator photobioreactor offers the feature of transferring the solar radiation, concentrated by solar tracker panels, to provide direct normal irradiation (DNI) to microalgal cultures as well as plants grown in the vertical farming sector.
The concentration of the direct solar radiation is performed by an optical focusing system (“parquet” of Fresnel lenses) and a dual-axis solar tracker coupled to the optical fibers.

The BIOBOSCO Urbano® – powered by BioSyntex – is a smart technology for the cities of the future.
Based on photosynthetic properties of microalgae, the experimental application intends to provide an antidote to global warming for those urban areas where the combination of new green infrastructures is limited – due to lack of space – by the existing roads, sidewalks and services.
The BIOBOSCO Urbano® with its 10 m2 of footprint absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and releases O2 into the environment in a quantity comparable to a grove of approx. 25-30 trees. The architectural design can be customized to fit to different urban contexts.
CEO Dr. Giovanni Gnudi reports:
The biomass produced inside Eni’s site (ex-Gazometro Ostiense) is delivered to a facility of Self Garden Srl that produces compost for horticultural applications.
Main collaborations: Self Garden Srl (compost), Consorzio Italiano Compostatori (CIC), Arch. Cesare Griffa (designer); C-LED Srl (lighting), Scubla Srl (plant builder), CodeBaker Srl (hardware-software interface); Eridani3 (architectural builder), Aksolar Srl (photovoltaic panels).
