Drip Irrigation Systems for Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse
Drip Irrigation Systems
Substantial Water savings can be achieved by using Bord na Mona's packaged subsurface Drip Irrigation System for Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse. Drip Irrigation Systems can conserve Water by distributing treated Wastewater where an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System is installed rather than using potable Water and as an additional benefit can provide the fertilizer compounds necessary for plant growth. Drip Irrigation Systems allow the precise application of Water and nutrients without Water loss due to evaporation, mist, surface runoff or wind interference. The packaged Drip Irrigation System incorporates an upstream filter and the required controls which can be integrated with the Wastewater Treatment System or Rainwater Harvesting System into one control panel.
Applications:
- For Drip Irrigation with Recycled Water.
- Sub-surface installations.
- Commercial and residential Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse applications.
- Turf/Lawn, shrubs, trees, flowerbeds.
Features & Benefits of a Drip Irrigation System:
Drip Irrigation Technology
- Based on a unique pressure differential mechanism which provides high emission uniformity and a clog-resistant design.
Anti-siphon mechanism
- Anti-siphon mechanism prevents contaminants from being drawn into the dripper.
Pressure compensating
- Precise and equal amounts of Water are delivered over a broad pressure range.
- 100 % uniformity of Water and nutrients distribution along the laterals.
Continuous self-flushing dripper design
- Flushes debris as it is detected, throughout operation, not just at the beginning or end of a cycle, ensuring uninterrupted dripper operation
Unique dripper design with
- Physical root barrier: better protection against root intrusion without reliance on chemicals.
Dripper position within the dripperline
- The water is drawn in to the dripper from the stream center, preventing the entrance of sediments in to the drippers.
Flexible tubing
- Adapts to any planting area shape.
UV resistant
- Withstands heat and direct sun - for on-surface installations.
Single hole dripper outlet from tubing
- Better protection against root intrusion.
- Allows the dripperline to be used in subsurface applications without chemical protection.
