This project aims to improve seaweed processing to deliver multiple high-value products including alginate, fucoidan and laminarin, which have food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical uses. The project integrates an advanced biorefinery process with a vortex fluidic device to accelerate chemical reactions, reduce the catalysts and chemicals used, and improve product yield and productivity. Application of the device in the critical steps of enzymatic digestion, acid and alkaline extraction, and precipitation is intended to deliver significant water, energy, chemical and cost saving. It is anticipated that the innovation will lead to the establishment of a new sustainable seaweed processing industry in Australia.

该项目旨在改进海藻加工，以提供多种高价值产品，包括海藻酸盐、岩藻糖胶和海带多糖，这些产品具有食品、化妆品和医药用途。该项目将先进的生物精炼工艺与涡流装置相结合，以加速化学反应，减少催化剂和化学品的使用，并提高产品产量和生产率。将该设备应用于酶消化、酸碱提取和沉淀等关键步骤，旨在提供显著的水、能源、化学和成本节约。预计这项创新将导致澳大利亚建立一个新的可持续发展的海藻加工业。
