WESTMINSTER, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQX:BLGO), a cleantech innovator focused on sustainable water and environmental solutions, announced that its engineering subsidiary, BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, Inc. (BLEST), has been awarded a $1.2 million contract to design a pilot-scale minerals processing facility that will support the remediation and beneficial reuse of a legacy mineral waste deposit associated with a historically impacted site in the western United States. Working with a private client, BLEST's engineers will incorporate its proprietary and patented process that will convert these non-hazardous waste materials into valuable commercial products.
This contract is for the initial design phase only, focused on the design of a pilot plant intended to demonstrate and validate the core manufacturing and processing capabilities required for scale-up. The design phase is expected to take approximately six months. Upon successful pilot operations, the project is expected to advance ultimately to a full-scale commercial production facility.
The overall development program-from pilot design through full-scale production-is anticipated to progress over an approximate two- to three-year timeframe and continue beyond into long-term operations, subject to successful pilot results and standard development considerations.
"This project exemplifies the growing importance of waste-to-value solutions in modern environmental management," said Dennis P. Calvert, President and CEO of BioLargo, Inc. "By transforming legacy waste streams into commercially valuable products, we are helping our clients turn environmental liabilities into economic opportunities. We view this engagement as the first step in what we expect to be a long-term collaboration-beginning with preliminary design, advancing through pilot validation, and ultimately leading to full-scale construction and production."
The pilot program is also expected to produce material for customer evaluation, product qualification, and early-stage market development.
Work is expected to commence immediately under a milestone-based structure.
This initiative highlights BioLargo's expanding role in sustainable minerals processing and environmental remediation, particularly in addressing legacy waste streams through innovative, circular-economy solutions.
