Biostimulant Process Equipment
Modular Seaweed Extraction Systems by Sirputis
Sirputis develops modular seaweed processing systems designed to convert freshly harvested macroalgae into high-value biostimulant products for agriculture and related industries.
Our Biostim Compact series integrates the full technological chain — from raw seaweed intake to stabilized liquid extracts and optional dried biomass fractions.
Depending on customer requirements, we design and supply compact technological lines including all necessary equipment for seaweed biomass preparation, mechanical cell disruption, stabilization, and extraction of the desired biostimulant products.
These modular systems can be installed close to harvesting areas, reducing biomass transport needs and preserving sensitive bioactive compounds.
Process Capabilities
The system can process wet or semi-dry seaweed biomass, including:
Sargassum, Alaria, Kappaphycus, Saccharina, Laminaria, Giant Kelp and other macroalgae species used in agricultural biostimulant production.
Typical operating parameters:
- Input capacity: 0.5 – 2.0 t/h wet seaweed biomass
- Operation time: 8–20 hours per day
Output streams
- Stabilized liquid seaweed biostimulant
- Pressed biomass pulp
- Optional dried granules or powder (8–15% moisture when equipped with a dryer)
Key Technology Advantages
- Mechanical cell disruption releases valuable alginate oligosaccharides, fucoidan, laminarin, and polyphenols contained in seaweed cells
- Modular capacity scaling – systems can be expanded in 0.5 t/h increments using standardized modules
- Rapid deployment – typical project implementation 6–8 months, significantly faster than conventional processing plants
- Compact installation footprint suitable for coastal or port-based processing facilities
- Integrated processing of liquid extract and solid biomass fractions
High-Level Process Overview
Seaweed Intake → Biomass Disintegration → Mechanical Cell Disruption → Solid–Liquid Separation → Optional Biomass Drying
During processing, seaweed biomass is mechanically disrupted in an aqueous medium. Valuable dissolved bioactive compounds are separated into the liquid extract, while the remaining fibrous pulp is pressed and optionally dried for further use.
