Hydroponic Greenhouses
Hydroponic means growing without soil. From there, several different systems have been put together since the early sixties, starting mostly in England and Israel. Early systems were very basic, replacing soil by a growing media like sand, peat moss or rockwool. Why does it work?
The ultimate hydroponic growing system will combine water conservation, zero media residue, biological fertilization and water revitalization. HydroNov's deep pool growing system is very close to that.
Greenhouses and Power Plants
Biomass power stations creates both heat and power allowing for a multitude of profitable opportunities that arise from utilizing this “waste” heat. ecoTECH has formed strategic partnerships and working relationships with several premier technology companies of diverse industries having one thing in common: their technology requires a large amount of heat. The ability to transfer excess/waste heat from the power station directly to several other industrial applications is extremely advantageous economically.
PacWest through partnerships have a professional relationship with Hydronov (www.hydronov.com), an advanced greenhouse
technology company. Hydronov greenhouses are innovative and extremely profitable for two reasons.
Firstly, through a unique floating raft system, Hydronov greenhouses have the ability to out-produce any other greenhouse technology we have seen. Secondly, Hydronov’s technology requires less labour than
traditional greenhouses resulting in substantial cost savings comparatively. Combine the abovementioned
advantages with a source of cheap energy and heat and there is an opportunity to add a very high return
on investment (ROI) profit centre to complement the power plant.
Engineering
PacWest Global can engineer total turnkey power plants coupled with greenhouses or add greenhouses to exsisting infastructure.
