FREDERICK, Md., March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination solutions, is pleased to announce the successful implementation of its SteraMist technology at Algafeed, a pioneering company in large-scale microalgae production for aquaculture and fish nutrition.
Algafeed faced a significant challenge with Protozoan ciliate contamination, a common issue in algae cultivation that hinders growth and impacts nutrient cycling. Seeking a reliable and proven solution, Algafeed turned to SteraMist for effective disinfection.
Following a thorough study demonstrating SteraMist's efficacy in treating tanks, light panels, and facility areas, Algafeed successfully reduced the ciliate contamination to a level that no longer impacts target production volumes.
Algae serves as a primary food source for shrimp, shellfish, and finfish farms. Traditionally, algae production requires extensive oceanfront land or results in freeze-dried products. Algafeed's innovative, patented technology enables the cultivation and delivery of high-density microalgae, offering a significant advantage to the aquaculture industry.
"Since implementing SteraMist, we have observed a substantial reduction in Protozoan ciliate," stated James Rizzi, Chief Operating Officer of Algafeed. "We are eager to expand the use of SteraMist across our global facilities."
“This highlights its versatility and effectiveness in addressing critical contamination challenges across diverse industries, including the aquaculture sector. We are excited to continue our partnership with Algafeed as they expand and leverage SteraMist technology,” states Elissa J. (E.J.) Shane, COO of TOMI Environmental Solutions.
