New Sustainable Modular Systems for Hydroponics
Specific Objectives
Study, production, testing, and marketing of a new system for hydroponics which, when compared to the one currently produced, will bring the following advantages:
- Simplicity and speed of internal maintenance;
- Elimination of fungi, bacteria, among others;
- Maximization of water consumption efficiency in agricultural production.
Production of a system that contains adapters produced by injection and tubes produced by extrusion. Both will be double-layered, possibly of the same material, but with different finishing. All these components, produced by two different transformation methods, should be based on recycled material.”
Processes, Products or Services
- Solution for ‘professional’ agriculture, with the development potentially being applied later to other types of less professional agriculture, such as ‘vertical gardens’ that operate on a hydroponics basis.
