|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Maine Technology Institute | Ocean's Balance S Portland, ME | A | $135,714 | paid | We operate an innovative seaweed dehydrator for use in processing harvested seaweed by both our own company and by other seaweed farms. Ours is an in-demand, differentiated solution to the aquaculture industry-wide roadblocks related to processing very large volumes of farmed kelp during a short harvest season. With additional technology and support from MTI, we will be able to further automate and make efficient this important process that addresses a major untapped commercial opportunity that Maine is ideally positioned to capture. Our solution is different from current alternatives because our dehydrator is energy efficient, low temperature, and automated and allows for processing high volumes of seaweed in a short amount of time. There is also an integrated milling system that allows for the kelp to be milled to any particle size after dehydrating, which is a requirement by virtually all buyers. | 202501349349305885 |
