Necton S.A. is the oldest company in Europe dedicated to the production and commercialization of microalgae, producing algae biomass especially for the aquaculture and cosmetics sectors. It is also a leader in the production and marketing of traditional salt, with a high brine production that it seeks to enhance through this project. In 2016, Necton significantly increased its microalgae production capacity within the scope of a European project (INTESUSAL), having an industrial unit with cutting-edge technology. Currently, five tubular photobioreactors with a total volume of around 100-m3 ensure efficient and sustained production of a wide variety of microalgae species with high biotechnological application. These cultivation systems allow the production of microalgae biomass with high biochemical and biological quality. The company has a unique and differentiated experience in the cultivation of more than 30 species of microalgae (for example, Nannochloropsis sp., Tetraselmis sp., Tisochrysis lutea, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Skeletonema costatum, Pavlova sp., among others).
