Green Dune
The Green Dune® Photobioreactor (PBR), developed by BLUEMATER, is an adaptive
microalgae-based technology that offers an innovative solution for bioremediation of
wastewater treatment by drastically reducing the space required compared to traditional
tertiary and quaternary treatment systems. Unlike conventional systems that need large
land
areas, PBRs are compact and modular, maximizing efficiency within a smaller footprint,
reducing both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenditures and facilitating the
treatment of urban and industrial wastewater for large-scale reuse. Additionally, they
can
also be used for CO2 capture or microalgae culture.

The space saved from the design of the Green Dune® is especially beneficial in
cities
where land is limited, enabling PBRs to be incorporated into existing infrastructure or
unique urban locations like rooftops. BLUEMATER's approach aims to mirror the
development of photovoltaic systems (PVs) in urban spaces, which also started with
spatial constraints but evolved to fit seamlessly into urban landscapes through smart
design and planning. Looking ahead, BLUEMATER anticipates further innovations, such as
vertically stacked PBRs and modular units, to increase space efficiency, keeping PBRs
technology flexible and scalable for extensive urban wastewater treatment needs.
