10 ways automating a small spirulina farm can lower operating costs and raise productivity and quality

RICHMOND, CA, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Operating spirulina farm, from growing a live algae culture to production to packaged products, requires a wide variety of operations. This life cycle involves equipment and procedures for cultivating, monitoring, feeding, harvesting, processing, and packaging. Automating these tasks can both reduce labor costs and human error and raise productivity, quality control and profitability.

At Oasia Farms, near the California Central Coast, Dale Solomon operates his 500 square meter spirulina farm. He plans to expand farm size and production while keeping labor costs down through automation. Dale has a background in engineering and will show the ways he has automated equipment and procedures.
