Plant growth chambers and indoor farming solutions

At GreenTech Amsterdam (12-14 June), Nijssen will present its innovative solutions in phytotrons and indoor farming.

Nijssen presents its latest solutions in climate technology. Among their projects in recent years, Nijssen realised 100+ climate rooms for several seed breeding companies in Seed Valley Enkhuizen. The rooms, such as phytotrons, in vitro rooms, tissue culture rooms, vernalisation rooms, seed storage rooms (with freezing system) and steam cells for disinfection, will be used for numerous applications and crops. Also several indoor farming production facilities were realised.

The rapidly emerging indoor agriculture industries face significant HVAC and dehumidification challenges. Adequate airflow is key - to reduce plant disease and pests, to remove excess heat and humidity, and to control air quality.

The company's control systems facilitate integrated control of lighting, irrigation and CO2 levels, and provide 24/7 online monitoring, extensive data registration and options for data analysis. For use in stand alone rooms, the Nijssen automation team developed the Basic Growth Controller. This easy to operate controller comes with a comprehensive functionality in an all-in-1-module. It can be expanded or integrated into the advanced control system.

Nijssen realised a XXL-type of MyGrowthRoom, the multifunctional mobile walk-in climate chamber for cultivation tests and production. Several rooms were also equipped with the Filacell cooling system developed by Nijssen. The system is based on the principle of wet flow cooling at ultra-high humidity and can, for example, also be used for research into plant diseases.
