In collaboration with Filclair Greenhouse Technology, Patron Agri Systems International completed a 12-hectare tomato greenhouse in two phases at the Agropark Queretaro, situated at an altitude of 2000 meters. The greenhouse is equipped with unique technology for irrigation and interplanting, where young tomato plants are placed among older plants. The dual drip line system ensures a seamless switch between drip lines during the transition from old to new plants. To achieve this, a dual infrastructure with separate process controls was implemented. The Apollo unit disinfects the drain water, making it ready for recirculation.

The project also includes a buffer tank for hot water heated by the boiler, which operates during the day to supply CO2 from flue gases. At night, the stored heat is used to maintain the greenhouse temperature. During the day, the relatively warm irrigation water is cooled via a cooling tower. The installation of the silos posed a challenge due to the uneven, rocky terrain, necessitating several measures. This project is a prime example of high-tech solutions enabling a high and consistent production flow.
