The elementary concept of photosynthesis — a plant’s ability to make food and breathe — form the foundation of the modern use of supplemental oxygen in greenhouses to encourage plant health all over the world. Essential to plant growth and survival, the expanded use of oxygen generation systems has become a significant component in the lettuce industry to meet consumer demand. AirSep Oxygen Generators are being used to help maintain a sufficient level of dissolved oxygen in the water to benefit growth and reduce the risk of disease, improving the overall health of plants.
Ozone and water treatment
AirSep Oxygen Generators are integrated with a number of ozone systems globally, which disinfect and treat the water. Ozone breaks chemicals down and kills bacteria and pesticides, allowing increased use of rainwater and maximizing the reuse of irrigation water. Reclaimed water is less expensive to use and treat resulting in reduced water fees.
Large amounts of contaminated water can be treated quickly and effectively at a low operating cost. After the ozone gas is disinfected, it decomposes into oxygen. The water is then bacteria-free. The oxygen additionally provides a nutritious boost, promoting faster growth rates and ultimately a rich, ample supply of leafy fruits, vegetables, and other greenery.
Benefits of using an AirSep oxygen system as a feed gas for ozone generators:
- Increases ozone output
- Stabilizes ozone production due to trace nitrogen
- Doubles ozone concentration at a minimum
- Reduces contact time
- Minimizes ozone generator maintenance
- Maximizes ozone generator performance & life expectancy
- Reduces maintenance, capital, & operating costs
It is important the oxygen be tightly controlled as too much can burn through roots.
