Agriculture

The use of surface water or reclaimed water to irrigate agricultural crops is increasing. This gives rise to a growing need to treat this water in order to prevent microbiological contamination and protect irrigation systems from organic and biological fouling.

Although alternative water treatment technologies exist, chlorination by liquid sodium hypochlorite is still commonly used for the treatment of water for agriculture because of its relative simplicity, availability, and low cost.

However, the use of liquid sodium hypochlorite poses multiple challenges mainly related to the handling and storage of the high volumes required. Use of granular chlorine solves these challenges due to the higher concentration of its active component and its higher stability.

In order to ensure the quality of the water treatment process for irrigation and other agricultural applications, the accuracy of the chlorination process is important.

However, an even more important aspect in agriculture is the economical use of chlorine. The reasons for this are that the water quantities used for irrigation are large and also, chlorine consumption in surface water is relatively high compared to its consumption in ground water.

Triteia – the accurate and affordable alternative to liquid sodium hypochlorite systems­­­­­­

Triteia brings an innovative solution to the world of water treatment – an accurate and reliable, yet simple and affordable granular chlorination system for the treatment of water for irrigation and other agricultural applications.

Triteia offers standard chlorination systems that are especially designed for use as part of agricultural water systems. These systems are suitable for field installation (with rain and direct sunlight protection), have a compact structure, and are robust and resistant to environmental conditions and chemicals. They are also suitable for the preparation of chlorine solutions by using raw irrigation water in an accurate and reliable manner.

The systems include special functions for agricultural applications such as a wide range of control options; automatic dosage adjustment for nearby or distant fields or plantations; and simple and fast adaptation to changing water quality, weather conditions and agricultural factors. All Triteia standard systems are suitable for operation from main power or from rechargeable batteries such as solar panels.

Triteia also offers larger chlorination systems that are suitable for large water quantities and flow rates. These systems are used in central water supply plants for irrigation or small chlorination systems and are especially suited for use by farmers close to agricultural growing areas.
