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.
