NUF MEMBRANE CHARACTERISTICS • • • • • • • •

Originally designed, built, proofed and quality tested as a medical device ABSOLUTE filtration rate of 30 nm => nominal filtration rate of 3.3 nm Smooth membrane surface => low fouling and extremely easy to clean Robust: more than 3 years of continuous operation (and going on) Built-in mechanical filter – 200 µ In line steam sterilized => resistant to high temperature Unlimited availability Easy scalability : 1 unit = 100 lt/hr; 10,000 units in parallel = 1,000 m3/hr

REMOVAL OF PLANT PATHOGENS BY NUF

μM

AGRICULTURE USAGE 1 Greenhouse water rere-use Re-use 98% of water Remove pathogens (5-6 log virus removal!!!)

Keep fertilizers and micro elements in-tact Without using chemical, thermal, or biological treatment Minimal, almost no-cost, energy requirements

NUF COMPARE TO OTHER METHODS UV

O3

Statistical pathogen removal.

Performance deteriorate with increased Turbidity.

Electric consumption.

OZONE Decrease of pH until 4 Concentration of ozone depending on T an RH Algae formation No possible to process control automatically Heating Decrease of pH until 4 Increase of water temperature between 5-8°C (some crops are sensible for high water T) High costs of energy and maintenance Bio sand filter Limited application (only for selective disinfection) Small volumes Maintenance intensive (tanks) ECA At increase of disease pressure no automatic adjustment possible

• Absolute Pathogen removal Regardless of water turbidity • Does not change the water composition and does not harm the nutrients in the water • Chemical free • More efficient and cost-effective than any other solution • Simple, safe for usage and long lasting

AGRICULTURE USAGE 2 Irrigation Firewall • An absolute Pathogen barrier Filtering water before they enter the crop cycle

• Chemical free • Minimal running costs • Safe and simple

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDIES Greenhouse water rere-use – Israel For over 20 years SHEFER NURSERY is re-using water in their 10 Ha nursery, first using UV treatment for a decade, then switching to Thermal treatment in order to reduce running & operational costs.

For over a year SHEFER NURSERY is now using NUF™ membranes, cutting their running costs by more then 80%, without compromising on results.

13

CASE STUDIES Greenhouse water rere-use – Holland In their beautiful 3.5 Ha greenhouses, Butterfly Orchids produces over 2.5 million orchids per year for major European markets.

Starting using NUF for assuring steady supply of parasite-free water to these sensitive flowers, saving energy and avoiding the complexity of using Ozone which was previously used.
