The object of the investment proposal is "Delivery and installation of an automated system for drip irrigation, precise fertilization, climate monitoring of greenhouse raspberries and an autonomous mobile photovoltaic irrigation system to power the irrigation system".
Irrigated area 32,099 decares.
The water source for the areas subject to irrigation is a water tank with a volume of 1775 m3, which will be filled from a hydrant of Irrigation Systems EAD.
The tank will be filled using an existing horizontal electric pump.
Filter group - It will consist of a system of sand filters, consisting of 3 pcs. x 36" bodies with automatic self-cleaning, secondary filter, mesh 130 microns in a metal body with automatic self-cleaning, air and safety valves, hydraulic equipment and fittings.
Drip irrigation - The selected drip irrigation model with external drip generators has the following characteristics:
- Diameter of the polyethylene pipe 20mm
- Resistance to UV rays
- Flow rate of the dropper: 1.6 l/h; pressure compensating with anti-drainage function
- Distance between droplet generators: 0.25 m;
- Working pressure: 0.5 – 3 bar.
Automation and Control - A specialized controller for irrigation and precision fertilization manages the irrigation process by controlling an irrigation pump and automated hydraulic valves.
Control over the latter is carried out wirelessly by means of "remote control modules". The controller allows the construction of individual irrigation strategies by time or flow rate with an unlimited number of start times for individual irrigations.
For electricity powering the pump to supply the water tank, the irrigation pump, the booster pump to supply the food node and the controller for irrigation and fertilization, which are (the water-saving technology) the use of an Autonomous Mobile Photovoltaic Battery Irrigation System, with a nominal power of 60 kW, which will be located on a two-axle mobile platform and will be used only for own needs.
