FIELDS OF APPLICATION

  • Residents of cities: ATF equipment can be installed in apartments and own homes for growing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, greens, cannabis. 
  • Schools and institutes, as well as sophisticated and experienced plant growers: For this category of consumers, a "pro" mode has been created, with the help of which you can independently model all the necessary parameters for plant growth, which can be used as training equipment in educational institutions or commercial breeding organizations. 
  • Small businesses and farms to organize a constant source of income from the production and sale of various plants. Technologies ATF allows in a short time to develop year-round production and output even without the experience in plant growing. Equipment can be installed in the store for the direct sale of plants to consumers, in subsidiary premises of apartment buildings, as well as in remote facilities such as oil fields, military bases, expeditions, etc. to provide people with fresh food. 
  • Large business (network stores, logistics centers, agroholdings, developers). Enterprises whose activities are related to the wholesale or retail sale of products can use ATF equipment to provide their consumers with fresh and safe plant products, thereby increasing customer loyalty to their brand through the sale of organic crops, while cutting logistics costs and other contractual obligations to suppliers.
  • Developers can implement in their projects a unique solution for providing customers with organic products after the purchase of real estate, namely during the construction phase, install ATF equipment in the utility rooms of houses or even in residential areas. This decision will be a serious competitive advantage and create a fertile ground for people's health. 

TECHNOLOGY 

ATF technology is a set of engineering, software, scientific solutions, combined to grow organic crops in artificially created conditions that completely imitate the natural ones. Applied technologies allow receiving year-round natural harvest anywhere in the world. 

Based on advanced technologies and experience in plant growing on hydroponics, our company offers an entirely new approach in the production of plants. The concept of careful cultivation, provides a high level of productivity and at the same time does not allow the accumulation of nitrates and other harmful substances in plants, and also eliminates the need for various kinds of pesticides. Applied technologies of industrial installations allow the highly effective use of invested capital and achieve the shortest payback periods of equipment due to guaranteed high yield. 

  •  Hydroponics and Aeroponics:  An essential difference of our solution is application of the combined method of plant cultivation in an enclosed space, at which the nutrient solution enters the root zone in the form of small particles of water providing high oxygenation of the solution, and a two-circuit overflow-draining system allows monitoring the level of the solution in the root zone. The developed technique and design allows to model the necessary level of moisture in the substrate, ensures a uniform distribution of the necessary dissolved nutrients and oxygen at the roots and excludes the need for human participation in the growing process already at the stage of planting the seeds. There are no injectors or splicers in the system, which significantly increases the reliability of the system and eliminates the need for serial cleaning, replacement of nozzles/splicers and cleaning filters. The system provides for the protection of plants from drying during malfunctions in the operation of the electric system and switching off the electric power of the actuators for 2-6 hours (depending on the type of plants). 
  •  Lighting: When cultivating plants in enclosed spaces or in conditions of limited natural sunlight, it is necessary to use artificial light sources. At different stages of plant life for normal morphological development and depending on the type of crops, the spectral composition of light varies significantly. For the purpose of applying a single source of illumination for growing different cultures and optimizing the process of  photosynthesis inside plants, a luminaire with the use of light-emitting diodes has been developed, which allows changing not only the intensity of light but the ratio of the spectral composition depending on the culture, growth stage and plant height. The illumination system includes LED luminaires modeling the spectrum from 440 to 740 nm and the power level depending on the stage of growth, the lateral system of plant clearance in the late stages of growth, the system of imitation of sunrise and sunset. The intelligent lighting system, depending on the type of plant and its measured morphological data, independently adjusts the light flux. 
  •  Ventilation: To optimize the process of photosynthesis in plants, especially in closed rooms, it is necessary to regularly update the composition, as well as maintain the desired level of humidity and air temperature. It is worth noting that the optimal climate parameters for each plant species are individual, therefore, when creating modern plant cultivation systems in a closed way, controlled climate systems are more often able to model the required parameters depending on the type of plants. The developed system of air recuperation allows excluding the use of air conditioning systems in a climate close to home, which significantly reduces the cost and eliminates the procedure for servicing the air conditioning system operating on the principle of a vapor compression cycle, and also reduces energy consumption. Pollination of plants occurs automatically by supplying air masses to the plant, which allows excluding the participation of a person in this process without damage to the crop. Streams of air swing plants strengthening its central trunk and allowing even more efficient transport of nutrients to leaves, flowers, and fruits. 
  •  Top-dressing with CO2: The modification includes a node for top-dressing of plants with carbon dioxide, which is especially useful to accelerate the set of vegetative mass by the plant, in the day phase, and in the growth chamber. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important building elements, so its availability and control are so necessary.
  •  Air cleaning:  For people with an allergic reaction to plants or when growing plants that have a persistent smell, a two-stage air filtration system is used. Coming from the temperature rise/fall circuits, air enters the carbon filter chamber, where the volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds of the gas molecule are absorbed by the pores of the activated carbon. However, in conditions of high humidity during the growing process, and the presence of molecules with a fine molecular weight, the carbon filtration provides only a part of the required degree of air purification. In order to capture molecules that have passed through the carbon filter, an ionized air purification unit is used. This method of filtration is absolutely safe for humans and at the same time, it has a long working life. Thus, two-stage air purification is most useful for combating unpleasant odors. 
  •  Nutrients: The automatic solution unit monitors the level, the electrical conductivity of the EС, the acidity of pH, the temperature of the nutrient solution and maintains the chosen formulation of nutrient solutions for a particular plant species throughout the process. The composition of nutrients is a key parameter in modern plant growing, which is why its control and accuracy is so important. Manual mixing can be quite tricky since more than twenty elements are required for plant growth. The main elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are absorbed from air and water. The remaining elements, called mineral nutrients, are mixed in solution in certain proportions. Any good hydroponic nutrient solution should contain all these elements: nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), molybdenum (Mo), boron (B), chlorine (Cl). To reduce the risk of pathogens in plants and to strengthen the immune system of plants, microorganisms are naturally used that help to eliminate the need for various herbicides, pesticides, and other harmful substances.
