* Humic fertilizers are products consisting of organic substances of natural origin and obtained from natural raw materials: peat, brown coal and organic slime. The origin and properties of the raw materials are different, but they all contain humic substances.

Advantages of these fertilizers:

  • they are organic;
  • they cannot be overused;
  • they are not washed out of the soil by irrigation and rainfall;
  • they increase the activity of plant cells;
  • they contain a special composition of microelements;
  • they increase the frost resistance of plants;
  • they increase plant germination 2-3-fold;
  • they eliminate phenolic intoxication of the soil;
  • they convert nitrates into safe nitro compounds.

 

Water preparation for the irrigation of fields and orchards

In arid regions, irrigation systems are the only way to produce bountiful harvests on a regular basis.

Irrigation systems use water from rivers and lakes, as well as from underground sources. Salts dissolved in this water gradually accumulate in the soil and significantly reduce its fertility. This limits the use of irrigation, even in areas where it is urgently needed.

Desalinizing the water necessary for field irrigation using electro-plasma technologies completely eliminates the problem of salinization of irrigated land. At the same time, sources with a relatively high and high level of mineralization, as well as waste water from domestic, communal and livestock complexes and industrial production can be used.

Water desalinized in this way is as close to rainwater in every parameter as possible.

Electro-plasma technologies are fundamentally new methods used for disinfecting, desalinizing and purifying stream water, which have significant economic, environmental and other advantages over the existing outdated methods.

These are purely physical methods that use electric and magnetic fields to produce, with the help of specific factors and synergetic effects, pure disinfected and desalinated water along with solid insoluble residue.

Advantages of electro-plasma technologies:

  • they are versatile;
  • they have a high degree of purification from micro flora and other organic pollutants compared with other methods;
  • they have a high degree of water desalination;
  • they purify water of any level of pollution and salinity;
  • they eliminate the need for costly materials (reagents, filtering materials, etc.).
  • they ensure low energy costs (0.4-1 kWh per 1 m3 of water treatment).
  • they ensure low total operating costs (the number of maintenance personnel is 5-6 times lower than in traditional methods, they can be fully automated).
  • the installation itself, as well as the area it occupies, is small in size (an installation of 20 m3 /hour in capacity occupies an area of ~ 20 m2).
  • they ensure a high level of environmental safety (they do not create intermediate environmentally hazardous products or accumulate contaminated products, etc.).
  • they have a high level of reliability and control.
