A strawberry grower using hydroponic cultivation on a large-scale farm (40 ha), located in a region experiencing severe water stress, Baja California (Mexico).
Their production model is heavily influenced by the availability and cost of water, making it essential to implement solutions that optimize water use and ensure profitability.
The farm was facing a critical situation regarding water resources:
In this context, the cost of water was a limiting factor for the crop’s profitability.
The challenge was clear: to reduce the cost of obtaining water without compromising quality or production, by incorporating more efficient alternative sources.
The producer decided to build the water reuse plant AZUD WATERTECH Recypack, designed to recover and treat drainage water from hydroponic cultivation.
This solution made it possible to transform the drainage system into a new source of safe water, thanks to:
The fully automated, plug-and-play system was easily integrated into the existing facility without increasing operational complexity.
The implementation of AZUD WATERTECH Recypack had a direct impact on the efficiency and profitability of the operation:
Thanks to the addition of this alternative water source, the farmer was able to optimize his operating costs and strengthen the economic viability of the crop.
