PPS8: NIRVANA

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:

  1. Simplicity and speed of internal maintenance;
  2. Elimination of fungi, bacteria, among others;
  3. 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.
