alga and fungi do not care whether the craw grown in a raiser ’s greenhouse is ' big ' or ' small ' . When conditions are right , they scratch . To a greater or lesser extent , growers have to dole out with them sooner or later . Or again and again . To prevent on the nose that , professional body of water treatment is necessary , suppose CEO André van der Stoel on behalf of the Industrial Product Solutions team .

Industrial Product Solutions ( IPS ) produces original and innovative technological solutions for originate plant . IPS uses the latest technologies in cultivation , harvesting and promotional material . Its arrangement attain maximal yields with minimum comment of natural resourcefulness and labour .

Broadly applicable unitOne of the systems in IPS ' grasp is the Mi Flow . Mi Flow , a ruffle unit of measurement for A and B nutrient solutions , acid and/or lye and oxygen , is lie with as ' a mellow - timbre resolution for small capacity that is not subscript to the results of big water units at a symmetrical price ' . The fully automated unit is ' at domicile in all market place ' .

To exemplify this , André give a lean . " You will descend across growers with a DFT or NFT system of rules for growing on water who are seem for a water unit of measurement , growers who want to make their feed weewee more automated and also growers who want to start a new small crop . We declare oneself the Mi Flow for all these state of affairs . We see that the grocery store , specially for small crop , was still miss a social unit that meets the grower ’s demand and has a proportionate cost . "

Three standard capacitiesThe Mi Flow is available in three standard flow capacities , namely 1.5 m3 , 5.5 m3 , and 12 m3 per hour . The Mi Flow is fit as a pre - mix system . " This guarantees a complete mixing of the food with the weewee , " say André . initiation is easy , as the system is ' punch - and - sport . ' " This is the current touchstone . It also evidence itself in the ease of operation . "

mix in oxygenBesides mixing nutrient for feed water , it is also potential to supply dissolved O to the piss . " Dissolvedoxygenis indispensable for plants to absorb nutrients , " André indicate out . " Our oxygen dispenser get to it possible to make atomic number 8 naturally and mix it into the water via the Mi Flow to make fade away O . "

removed ascendency as an optionThe unit can optionally be equipped with a remote restraint . " We then place a computer with an cyberspace connection on the unit . " This yield the raiser accession to additional control functionality . " The grower can practice the control screen and has access to the feeding schedules , flip-flop times and all alarms . The grower can also aline all options and create historical overview in the on-line design . "

Feeding glasshouse sections separatelyMi Flow can also be expanded with extroverted electrical valves . André explains that this is for growers who want to cater water to unlike segment of the glasshouse separately . " With this extension service , the computer software is also pass , and the cultivator can make their own choices for options about section and time . " The valve are operate by the Mi flow and cater with power .

Adding incoming galvanising valves to the Mi Flow is also possible . " In DFT systems , the water is pumped around from the pond to the Mi Flow . The weewee is pump around periodically , taking into account statement as much possible calmness around the plants . As the pumping is done sporadically and at a specific time , there is the option of using several sections in succession . With this option , the package also offer the theory of select the incoming and forthcoming valve in the desired time time slot . " The Mi Flow controls the valve and supplies them with power .

Special frameThe incoming and forthcoming valves can be mounted on a untarnished - brand frame if need . This Mi Split is screwed directly to the Mi - Flow via a rim connection , André explains . " The incoming and extroverted valves are render with a flange connection so that the grower can easily connect his own piping . All valves are connected to the Mi - Flow through a fundamental cable and set via the software . "

With the Mi Flow , IPS is chiefly targeting agriculturalist with small refinement areas or growers who want to congeal up a modest exam . If that hold up well , upscaling is in the picture . The IPS product compass will then include the Mid Flow and Hi Flow , which are large buddy of the Mi Flow . " With these unit of measurement , we build a span to larger crops and even more functionality , " concludes André .
