Gross-Wen Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Slater, provides a patented algae biofilm treatment system under the RAB™ brand that uses algae to sustainably remove nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewater. The technology can also be used with clean water to grow valuable algae for products such as fertilizers, bioplastics and biofuels. The company was awarded a $1 million Innovation Acceleration Expansion Fund loan to hire key staff and expand its market efforts.
Award recommendations for the SSBCI Innovation Fund assistance are made by the SSBCI Review Committee to the IEDA director for approval. The committee met January 28 to review eligible applications.
