Field trip to The Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation, or AzCATI
Delegates are invited to participate in a visit to AzCATI on Sunday 15 June, 8.30am – 1.00pm approximately. Please book your place via the registration system opens in new tab/window.
The Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation opens in new tab/window, or AzCATI, established in 2010 on ASU’s Polytechnic Campus in Mesa, is a leading testbed and research facility for algae innovation and is part of the Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Our vision is for algae technology to make major contributions within the food-energy-water nexus to producing renewable fuels, food, feed and higher value products while performing environmental services in the form of treatment technologies for various carbon and nutrient rich waste streams. All in support of the circular economy and a more sustainable future for society
AzCATI’s mission is to serve as a national algae testbed to accelerate the advancement of algae technology development and commercialization through innovative research, education, and collaboration.
As part of the International Conference on Algal Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts (AlgalBBB 2025), we are offering the opportunity to tour the Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) research and development testbed in Mesa, AZ.
The tour will include visiting AzCATI’s state of the art laboratory and five-acre outdoor testbed with greenhouses.
There will be active cultivation experiments from several liter scale up to 20,000 L scale in multiple cultivation configurations from open ponds to closed photobioreactors to attached growth systems.
The tour will include ample opportunities for questions and discussion with faculty and staff on specific research capabilities, research interests and equipment.
Once on site at AzCATI, the tour is expected to last approximately 2 hours. Note that weather in Mesa, AZ in mid-June can be warm and sunny and a good portion of the tour will be outdoors. Please wear closed toe shoes (no heals) as the site has grating and potential trip hazards. Taking photographs is welcome and encouraged.
“The conference brought together the most renowned researchers in the field, the presentations were of great importance to the scientific community, the event was well organized.” ALGABBB 2024 delegate
AlgalBBB places a major emphasis on the latest unpublished technical and scientific results, along with discussion and direct interactions with broad spectrum scientists and engineers, funding sponsors, and leaders in the field from all over the world. The conference presents the work of the algae research community through a balanced set of oral presentations and posters selected from the best submissions to the conference.
“A good opportunity to connect to researchers in the same field.” ALGABBB 2024 delegate
Our list of keynote and invited speakers includes funding agency sponsors, key industry players, and top scientists and engineers from the international community.
“Networking is great!” ALGABBB 2024 delegate
The conference will cover all areas of emerging technologies in all areas of algal research, including microalgae, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria: biology, biotechnology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, biorefinery, feedstock conversion into fuels, high value products, econometrics, and sustainability analyses.
“The most globally representative algae conference.” ALGABBB 2024 delegate
In 2025, we look forward to hearing about the new emphasis on seaweed-based systems, engineering advances, molecular characterization technologies (e.g., genomics, proteomics, metabolomics), strain engineering technologies for biofuels and high value products and pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, photobioreactor design and control systems, and new technologies in characterization and analysis, among others.
