- 6. NFT using for this growing room but sure DWC can also adaptable for this unit. Meanwhile DWC unit setup cost should be calculate differently. DWC also adaptable but needs more water consumption. Aeroponics can also adaptable system for the growing room.
- 7. This growing room has re circulation system. So it is help to low water consumption. We only support what the plants are using for growing. The water might supply from the city or wellwater from the deep. But in this project, we are using dehumidifier. So the water obtained from the dehumidifier. So we have a chance to eliminate the our source for water. Sure the country climate conditions is important on this point. The only negative point on this subject, the power consumption will be increase due to dehumidifier. We need around 100 litter water as a source for the plants according to climate. Extra power needs is 1,8 kw/hour for dehumidifier.
- 8. We might use 2 different lighting for to growing plants. Sure LED technology give many possibilities for decrease the power consumption. New LED technology can combines different type of lights for the optimum growing level. Meanwhile LED light investment is little expensive rather than others. But the power consumption is low than all others. Second way is to use fluorescent lamp for the growing room. Investment cost is lower than LED but power consumption is higher than LED.
- 9. Fluorescent lamps LED bars
- 10. Irrigation, acclimatization, lighting, air-condition, CO2 and fertilization are under control by automation unit which can operate also by mobile. Even don’t need to open container door. This automation has alarm control too.
- 11. There are 3 shelves for both side at the side walls. Each shelve 6 meters long. Each shelve has 80 cm wide. Plant number is variable according to variety. NFT gullies is placed on those shelves. Each shelve equipped by LED bars. Between the two shelve has 40 cm distance. Power capacity is 7 kw/h
- 12. 1 pieces 20 ft container dimension based on this growing room which made by sandwich panels. LED light bar are used for lighting. Fully automated and ready to run. Electricity and water should connect by investor. Growing room production place is Izmir /Turkey. Transport and shipping should calculate according to the fixing place. So the cost should be add. TAX or VAT not include. This cost is according to our design but it can variable according to different variety of growing or climate. The cost of this growing unit is 65.000 Euro/20 ft. Total harvest is 33.692 head/yield for butterhead.
