Invercargill-designed machinery that turns sewage-pond algae into crude oil and leaves the water clean enough for reuse has generated strong interest from southern councils.

Invercargill engineering firm B L Rayners Ltd and Christchurch company Solvent Rescue Ltd are working together to develop the machinery and plan to market and sell it as early as next year.





B L Rayners owner Wayne Harpur said New Zealand councils would be ideal customers because they collectively own 220 oxidation ponds that grow the oil-rich algae.
