All horticulture businesses and greenhouses face the challenge of managing their wastewater, which is often treated using traditional filters such as sand filters. A vibrating screen filters solids out of this wastewater, so that growers can reuse the treated wastewater as irrigation water. We are frequently approached by companies seeking advice on how to optimise their water recycling systems to better comply with increasingly stringent regulations.
The Zeurniet nursery was one of the companies that came to BÈTA industrie with a specific challenge they were facing. They had invested in a water recycling system with a sieve bend in 2016. While this system achieved significant water savings, the nursery still had to pay considerable sewage charges.
Our experts tested various filtration systems for the company and ultimately recommended a horticultural filter. Today, the Zeurniet nursery operates with an optimised, cost-saving, and environmentally friendly system. And they have reduced the amount of water they discharge by 100%. This system represents a significant step forward in anticipation of upcoming regulatory changes.
Horticultural filter without nutrient loss
The BÈTA horticultural filter is now being used at several horticultural facilities. What does it do? The horticultural filter removes solid particles from the water without losing essential nutrients (fertilisers). The screening machine separates the contaminated water into a solid mass that can be discharged and clean water that can immediately be reused.
