Vertical stacked-tray Lemnaceae Aquaculture by SKILLICORN Technologies
How Vertical stacked-tray Lemnaceae Aquaculture creates synergies and adds value to advanced, innovative agriculture
Lemnaceae (sic: Lemnoideae) are the world’s fastest growing vascular plants. Their reproduction is highly efficient, with all strains able to produce fruit, while actually favoring cloning for reproductive purposes. Most strains are able to optimize their growth with only 20% of direct sunlight. Continuing improvements in the efficiency of targeted light frequency delivery by LEDs (including pulsing) and a continuing precipitous fall in the prices of LEDs allow cost-efficient “farming” of Lemnaceae strains in highly optimized vertical farming structures. Growing indoors in controlled conditions also allows enhanced delivery of CO2 and precise control over humidity, crop densities and harvesting regimens.
STL’s vertical Lemnaceae production arrays effect many forms and can service the full spectrum of requirements – whether effecting a plug flow and final polishing in treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater and mining effluents; tailoring ion removal in the case of phyto-desalination; and effecting completely sterile production in circumstances involving direct consumption of freshly, harvested Lemnaceae by humans. All systems employ continuous thermal, visual, water chemistry, CO2, and O2 monitoring and are fully automated and programable. Crop movement, mixing and harvesting are typically pneumatic, but mechanical and hydraulic analogs can also be delivered.
STL’s vertical Lemnaceae production arrays are notably important in dense urban circumstances, or in places where extreme temperatures prevail and where thermal control enabling access to groundwater or oceanwater is heavily constrained.
