Water and waste
Water and waste management in agricultural and industrial facilities
We design systems for water intake, treatment, recirculation and discharge, and waste management for growing facilities and agro-industrial plants, to save resources and comply with environmental regulations.
Water is a facility's most critical resource
In a greenhouse or grow room, irrigation water determines crop quality; in an agro-industrial plant, process water and effluents shape the environmental permit. Either way, every cubic metre saved means lower costs and greater sustainability.
We build water and waste into the project from the outset: irrigation water treatment, drain water recirculation and disinfection, effluent treatment, rainwater harvesting and plant waste management, linked where possible to composting and biochar plants.
Solutions
Irrigation water treatment
Filtration, reverse osmosis, pH adjustment and disinfection based on water quality and crop.Drain water recirculation
Collection, disinfection and reuse of drain water to cut water and fertiliser use.Effluents and leachates
Treatment of process water and leachates for discharge or reuse.Facility waste
Management plan for plant waste, packaging and plastics, including their recovery.
Frequently asked questions
How much water does drain water recirculation save?
It depends on the crop, the irrigation system and the quality of the source water. In the facility study we calculate the expected water and fertiliser savings and the payback period.
Can you add these systems to an existing facility?
Yes. Water recirculation and treatment are among the upgrades with the best return in operating facilities. See maintenance and renovation.
Want to cut your facility's water consumption?
We analyse your facility and propose the right system, together with its return on investment.
