A clotted toilet in a carpenter’s plane , is no estimable . Reason for aircraft producer Boeing to start working with an SKW system . This is a technique of German line that ensures better water dispersion , and therefore no more clogged aircraft bathroom . likewise , the technique is also used in horticulture . Here , for exercise , the system prevent clotted drippers as a result of mineral deposit , but SKW also manoeuvre out the role of piss to optimally apply craw auspices .

" SKW ’s centering has long been on industry , " pronounce Pieter van Noord , the company ’s congresswoman in the Netherlands . Since 2015 , there has also been a Dutch branch , gear up up by the Dutchman . The founder of the German company , now 81 - year - old Jürgen Siekmann , saw few opportunities in horticulture , although the system was already being used there . " That ’s because the water in gardening is often already too clean as they practice rainwater or because of high - press filtration , " Pieter explains . " However , when we started looking at the pipes containing provender water , with fertilizer in it , it turned out that we could trifle an significant role in that . "

small dropletsSKW can do that with a system based on app of Lorentzkracht . On one side of the system , water goes in and on the other side , water comes out with a better distribution , without any substances append to the water . A video of the process can be seen on the company website . Lorentz force assist subjugate dynamic viscosity in water - transporting system . A magnetized pulse is used for this purpose .

At SKW , they point out how water system remains necessary to optimally use crop trade protection product , of which there are few and fewer available due to strict regulations . To maximize the effect of crop protection measures while minimising the number of agent to be used - whether based on chemical substance or biological process - water is want to help optimize the consequence of applications , the Germans argue .

Field testsField tests have shown that the altered viscosity of weewee is assort with improved disband action while optimising the truth of spray distribution and plant uptake when applying harvest protection product . The tests show that the lotion rate can be reduce compared to using untreated pee , with the same effect .

The improved properties of the water also make it loose for the plants to absorb the combat-ready ingredient used . The same put on to the use of liquid plant nutrition fertilizer - disregarding of whether they are applied through the leaves or the grunge . The raptus property of body of water are optimised - no matter where they are needed .

More cucumbersAs of 29 December 2024 , founding father Jürgen sold the company . Thomas Arndt , Hanno - David Alberts and Stephan Strack are the raw owner . SKW ’s oldest system has been operating for 37 age . Among others , cucumber grower in the northern German - Dutch borderline part already use the engineering science .

" I know one raiser there who says that by using our system he has cucumbers one day in the beginning , " says Pieter . " For growers , this is interesting , for example betimes in the time of year when price are good . " In the greenhouse , deployment of the SKW technology also help forestall the clogging of drippers . " Also , the system see to it better water distribution , a more heavyset , faster root establish - up and therefore more yield . "

Thick waterPieter himself is well acquaint with the figures from the broiler manufacture . In his experience , entrepreneurs want to know the payback flow of technique . This is often short , Pieter maneuver out with an example from the broiler industriousness . " That ’s because here savings are made on provender . Feed is expensive . Feed is better absorbed in water . That mean more feed in the animal , and less in excretion . As a result , less is turn a loss . "

In the same way , it also benefit agriculturalist , but for fertilisers . Also , thanks to better rearing , H2O reserve itself to be pumped with less push . " For this intellect , our systems are also used in desalination plant in desert areas . The more minerals there are in urine , the thicker the weewee is and the more remainder we can make . We put minerals dissolved into piddle in order . "

InstallationThe declamatory single SKW system is open of processing 110 tonnes of water per time of day . With the SKW system , the staring water supply of an agricultural or horticultural farm can be achieve , as well as single crop protective cover plants . " This make it potential to address the postulate water severally of a fixed pipeline internet , " Pieter explains . " Rainwater , well water and/or surface water can also be used . "

In Germany , Pieter knows that growers are investing in the system , serve in part by a European subsidy for manufacturer governance that set aside a grower to get 50 % of the investment costs back . All variety of crops are involved , especially outside the glasshouse . He regularly updates on Twitter .
