Why grow microalgae in photobioreactors?
Microalgae use photosynthesis to turn CO₂ + light + nutrients into proteins, plant oils, antioxidants and more → a natural process that uses few resources.
Global impact
A solution for food, aquaculture, phytoremediation, biomass production…
Full control
Unlike open ponds, photobioreactors allow precise control of the culture: quality, conditions (gas, light, temperature), optimised yield, minimal water use and a smaller footprint.
Suited to operations of every size — from small workshops to industrial units — thanks to their flexibility and modularity.
Simple, robust, cost-effective.
Spirulina grown with care, between science and nature.
- Closed loop
- Cultivation in photobioreactors, with no open ponds.
- Pesticide-free
- Clean cultivation that respects living things.
- One process, two benefits
- Treating effluents and producing protein.
- France × Vietnam
- French and Vietnamese laboratories and universities.
About us02
Produce better. Nourish life. Respect nature.
A founding conviction
At Vietaime, it all starts with a simple conviction:
we can produce better.
Offering exceptional spirulina, grown in a clean, controlled way that respects living things.
Technology in the service of life
Using light and state-of-the-art photobioreactors, we recreate the ideal conditions for growing ultra-pure spirulina.
Closed-loop cultivation - Zero outside pollution - Zero contamination
No open ponds. No compromise.
Just scientific expertise in the service of nature.
Clean, sustainable and responsible
Producing differently is our commitment.
- Water savings
- No pesticides
- Ecosystem protection
- Minimal environmental footprint
Every microgram of Vietaime spirulina is grown with respect for the planet.
Exceptional spirulina
A spirulina that is:
- Rich in protein
- Concentrated in vitamins
- Naturally rich in antioxidants
- High in quality phycocyanin
Thanks to our innovative cultivation method, we guarantee consistent quality: no bitter taste, no impurities, no surprises.
Give your body the best
Choosing Vietaime means:
- Nourishing your body with a natural, powerful supplement
- Taking care of your health every day
- Making a conscious choice for the planet
It’s a different way to consume.
With meaning. With respect.
Who we are
Born from a clear ambition
Combining French technology with Vietnam’s vitality to produce exceptional, clean and sustainable spirulina.
The result of close collaboration between French and Vietnamese laboratories and universities
Our project builds on the latest scientific advances in photobioreactor cultivation. This scientific synergy guarantees high-quality spirulina, grown in a fully controlled environment, without pollution or compromise.
We chose Ho Chi Minh City, at the heart of a Vietnam in full economic and technological growth, as the home of our production site. A strategic location that embodies a harmonious partnership between European scientific rigour and Asian dynamism.
Our mission
To offer a superfood as pure for the body as it is respectful of the planet, and to pave the way for a new, responsible and sustainable nutrition, worldwide.
Our innovation03
The coupling cell
Turning an environmental problem into a nutritional solution.
How can aquaculture become sustainable and responsible?
Aquaculture is set to play a key role in feeding the world. But today it still depends heavily on already overexploited marine resources, and it releases polluting effluents that weaken aquatic ecosystems.
At Vietaime, we started from a simple observation:
We cannot protect the oceans with production models that keep depleting them.
Simple, flexible and accessible technology
We started by developing flexible, low-cost photobioreactors (PBRs) adapted to the constraints of aquaculture farms, including in resource-limited settings.
But the real innovation came next.
- 01Aquaculture ponds
- 02Selective active filtration
- 03Cultivation of microalgae in photobioreactors
- 04Circular aqua feed
- ↺ Back to the ponds
- →Healthy food chain
One simple process
We designed a coupling cell that recovers the nutrients found in polluted effluents — nitrogen and phosphorus — and uses them directly for cultivation.
The result:
- Effluents are treated
- Pollution is reduced at the source
- And these nutrients are used to produce high-value microalgae
One process, two benefits.
Ongoing trials
We are currently testing this integrated system in Vietnam, right next to aquaculture ponds.
The principle is simple:
- Waste from the farms is captured
- The nutrients it contains feed the microalgae culture
- These microalgae are then used locally, notably as a protein source for aquaculture
A sustainable alternative
To feed farmed fish, aquaculture still relies heavily on meal made from wild fish. This model directly contributes to the depletion of marine stocks.
With spirulina and other microalgae rich in protein and lipids, we offer a sustainable alternative:
- Less pressure on wild fish
- No disruption of marine ecosystems
- A much smaller environmental footprint
Producing better
By combining:
- Effluent treatment
- And local production of microalgal protein
Vietaime reduces the environmental impact of aquaculture while improving its feed self-sufficiency and its yield.
Producing better, without taking more from the ocean.
