THE COMPLETE ROADMAP
Read each step to see what the team needs to do and what must be checked before moving to the next step.
Check the land, soil, flood risk and drainage. Make sure the site has access, water and electricity. Decide where the ponds and buildings will go before building starts.
Clear and level the ground. Build drains to keep rainwater away. Make the large growing ponds and small starter ponds, with safe paths, fencing and toilets.
Put protective fabric and a strong plastic liner inside each pond. Check for leaks. Add covers, pipes and paddle wheels that keep the pond water moving.
Set up water tanks, cleaning equipment and pumps, including a spare pump. Add the agreed nutrients to the water. Start checked spirulina in the small ponds before moving it into larger ones.
Staff check every pond and record how the spirulina is growing. Keep equipment clean. If anything looks wrong, keep that pond separate until the quality team decides what to do.
Collect spirulina only from ponds that have passed checks. Filter it, press out water and dry it carefully. Keep a batch number throughout. Check dryness and quality before grinding.
Clean and check the equipment first. Grind and sieve the dried spirulina. Pack it and check the weight, seals and labels. Test the finished batch and keep a sample before sending it to customers.
