Efficient irrigation runs through clean lines. Disinfection keeps lines open and emitters delivering water evenly across the field.
The biggest enemy of modern irrigation systems is clogging. In drip lines, biofilm, algae and mineral scale block emitters and disrupt the uniform distribution of water across the field. Clean lines are a precondition for efficient irrigation.
Protecting the lines
With on-site generation of hypochlorous acid, the Aquamirus E.C.A. system delivers a low dose into the irrigation water and suppresses biofilm and algae growth within the line. Emitter clogging falls, irrigation uniformity is preserved, and the maintenance intervals required for line cleaning are extended.
Cleaning tanks and equipment
Alongside the hypochlorous acid used for disinfection, the cell in the Aquamirus E.C.A. system produces sodium hydroxide (caustic) at the cathode. On the farm it serves as a second useful output: alkaline cleaning of storage and mixing tanks, fertigation equipment and packhouse surfaces removes organic soil, so the disinfection step that follows works on a clean surface.
Scope
Greenhouse operations, fruit-and-vegetable production areas, seedling and nursery facilities, hydroponic systems. The Aquamirus E.C.A. system is sized to the facility’s irrigation flow and dosing points; Skytech Water designs, installs, commissions and services it on site.
Frequently asked questions
How does hypochlorous acid protect drip lines?
Low-dose hypochlorous acid in the irrigation water suppresses biofilm and algae in the emitters; this reduces clogging and preserves the uniformity of water distribution.
Does it harm the plant?
The dose used is the low level needed for line disinfection and is largely dissipated by the time it reaches the root zone; the application is engineered to the crop and irrigation regime.
What is the system's second output used for on a farm?
The cell in the Aquamirus E.C.A. system also produces a sodium hydroxide (caustic) solution at the cathode. It can be used for alkaline cleaning of tanks, mixing equipment and packhouse surfaces ahead of disinfection; how it is used is planned during the site assessment.
