Agriculture & Irrigation

Protect the Network. Protect the Yield.

An irrigation network is a distribution problem before it is a water problem. Uniformity across the field depends almost entirely on keeping every emitter clear.

01Typical Water Systems

What Is Usually on Site.

  • Surface and well intake

    Canal, river or borehole sources carrying sand, silt, algae and organic matter.

  • Filtration station

    Automatic screen, disc or media filtration sized to the emitter and the load.

  • Fertigation

    Nutrient injection whose chemistry can itself cause precipitation in the line.

  • Distribution network

    Mains, sub-mains and laterals where uniformity is the performance measure.

02Industry Water Challenges

What Makes It Difficult.

  • Emitter clogging

    Physical, chemical and biological clogging each require a different response, and they often occur together.

  • Sand and silt

    Well sources deliver abrasive load that damages pumps and valves as well as blocking emitters.

  • Algae and organics

    Open sources carry biological load that grows within the network itself.

  • Limited utilities

    Remote stations often have limited power and no permanent attendance.

03Operational Risks

What Is at Stake.

Uneven application

Partial blockage shows up as variable growth across the field long before it shows up as a fault.

Manual cleaning burden

Networks that need manual flushing consume labour continuously through the season.

Water efficiency

Poor uniformity means over-irrigating part of the field to adequately irrigate the rest.
