SDC in agriculture and irrigation

An expansion front that connects more controlled water, cleaner lines, and production with fewer microbiological blind spots.

Promising expanding application

Studies and operational adoption open space for projects adjusted to culture, water, and the production system.

ClO₂
A moleculemultiple engineering disciplines
01

In protected agriculture, hydroponics, and localized irrigation, water passes through tanks, filters, emitters, and kilometers of lines. When the system loses control, the consequence appears as clogging, contaminated recirculation, and production instability.

SDC has been explored to treat agricultural water, support microbiological control, and manage biological deposits in pipelines. Culture, root, substrate, and microbiota enter the project to turn this potential into productive results.

01 · infrastructure

Lines that keep delivering

Microbiological water management can reduce the environment favorable to biological deposits that harm filters and emitters.

02 · recirculation

More control in closed circuits

Hydroponics and protected cultivation reuse water and nutrients; continuous monitoring helps prevent recirculation from also spreading the problem.

03 · precision

Treat the water without ignoring the plant

The operational window needs to balance water control, nutrient compatibility, and crop response.

02 · results and references

A technology with real room to grow

01

Studies on irrigation water and product safety reports treat ClO₂ as an alternative to hypochlorite, peracetic acid, and UV in agricultural contexts.

02

The available evidence supports microbiological control and line management, creating more predictable conditions for the production system.

03

The strongest path is experimental and measurable: pilot, control, water analysis, emitter flow, and crop observation.

How to bring technology to operations

1

Set the target

Catchment water, tank, line, recirculation, post-harvest washing, and soil are different targets.

2

Start in pilot

Test in a controlled sector, with water sampling and monitoring of flow, nutrients, and crop response.

3

Scale with data

The pilot results guide the scale-up with microbiological control and compatibility with cultivation.

What makes the project work

Culture, water, nutrients, and agronomic goal define the best application window. With a pilot and measurement, ClO₂ goes from possibility to production tool.
