VALUEFARM Towers
Modular, High-Volume Cultivation for Industrial Seaweed Production
The VALUEFARM Tower system is designed for land-based seaweed production at industrial scale. Built on the same high-performance technology as our container solutions, the Towers eliminate the spatial limitations of containers and allow seamless upscaling with greater flexibility. Ideal for large-scale producers and aquaculture integrations, VALUEFARM Towers offer automated, controlled, and space-efficient seaweed cultivation.
Description
This scalable system is available in two standard volumes and designed for modular installations:
5,000-liter tower (approx. Ø1.5 m, H3.5 m)
10,000-liter tower (approx. Ø2.0 m, H4.5 m)
Each installation typically consists of at least 8 towers, configured for your site and needs. The towers are best placed indoors but can be designed for outdoor installations when required.
Designed for industrial scalability and process control, the VALUEFARM Tower system delivers high yields while maintaining low labor requirements and strong performance predictability.
Production capacity: Each PBR yields up to 5–13 kg of fresh biomass per m³ in a week at 10% dry weight (under optimal conditions)
Integrated harvesting system: Tanks, pumps, and our unique press unit for smooth biomass handling
Full automation: Patented built-in lighting system and unique cleaning, and water delivery systems
CE-marked and compliant with EU regulations for work safety and food contact materials
Optional sensor & IoT monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pH, flow, salinity, and real-time biomass growth
Custom configuration for stand-alone operation or seamless RAS integration
One 10,000-liter tower performs on par with a full 40’ container, reaching up to 5.4 tonnes of fresh biomass per year with a well-performing Ulva strain at optimal conditions. Our Laboratory Setup or Feasibility Study can help ensure the right strain and parameters before scaling up.
Your Benefits
The VALUEFARM Towers offer a path to industrial production with high control and low manual input. Their modular format allows for smooth capacity expansion, while the automated systems reduce operational complexity. Whether starting from a validated pilot or scaling from a container installation, Towers support a strategic shift to cost-effective, circular minded seaweed production.
Each unit is tailored to maximize performance for your conditions.

Why choose it:
Modular tower format: 5m³, 10m³ or 20m³ per unit
High level of automation: harvesting, cleaning, operation
Max efficiency without container constraints
Scaling from Laboratory to Industrial Production
Many teams begin optimization and strain development in smaller units before scaling into the VALUEFARM Towers. The Laboratory Setup is frequently used to fine-tune operational parameters before transitioning to industiral production. For short-cycle comparisons or early strain selection, the Laboratory Batch Setup provides a fast and efficient testing environment.
The ValueFarm Containers are designed as the step preceding full-scale ValueFarm Towers in terms of yield and deployment. They are built on the same core principles as the towers, including high parameter control, efficient space use and high biomass productivity.
While ValueFarm Towers require a dedicated production hall or similar infrastructure, the container systems are fully enclosed and modular units in their own right. This allows cultivation to be established as a self-contained system, with the option to integrate laboratory space or dedicated areas for post-harvest processing according to specific operational needs.
