Water management is the key to succesful seed production
At this seed production company in the highlands of Vietnam in Lam Dong province, a reliable water source is indispensable. Irrigating in the right place, at the right time and in the right quantity is a key factor for the production of the seeds. At this producer in Vietnam, three metal water tanks were installed next to the greenhouses, together with water technology. These tanks ensure a good and constant availability of water and allow control of the water. This is important because the company makes and stores special recipes for producing seed: from sowing, to germination, to harvesting, without excessive water consumption. And this is where the tanks also serve, because the water tanks enable the facility to reuse water.
All so that the chillis, courgettes, cucumbers, beans and sweet peppers can produce the best quality seeds!
Water tank
This water tank is 3,04 m high and has a diameter of 8,04 m. It stores approximately 155 m3 of water. As lining material Enpex FPP 0,75 mm was applied; one of our top notch water tank lining materials. An outlet was installed in the bottom of the water tank to connect the tank to the irrigation system.
Tank roof
Our customer installed a locally produced roof on the water tanks. But it is good to know that NPI also produces tank covers and roofs. See here for more information on our tank covers.
