One of the basic needs of any greenhouse is irrigation and water storage. Regardless of the type of glass or polycarbonate greenhouse or any other type of structure,the greenhouse water storage tank should be installed outside or inside the greenhouse and the water and fertilizer needed by the plant should be delivered to the plant through the greenhouse water tank.Buying a greenhouse water tank is one of the most important needs of every modern greenhouse, because in addition to water storage, installation of irrigation automation and intelligent feeding and irrigation devices also requires a greenhouse water storage tank. Greenhouse tanks can be different according to the size of the greenhouse, the type of hydroponic or soil cultivation, the type of structure and its use.Today, with the advancement of technology and the construction of Spanish and Dutch greenhouses, the importance of the greenhouse water tank has multiplied. In Spanish structures and high roof structures, in order for the greenhouse water to be at the same temperature as the space inside the greenhouse and to prevent temperature doubt for the plant,the greenhouse water tank must be built inside the cultivation space.This issue is no longer answered with concrete tanks and traditional models, and a structure must be designed that can occupy a small space inside the greenhouse and is easy to use. One of the advantages of using a galvanized cylindrical greenhouse water tank is that these linear greenhouse water tanks are anti-algae and if the greenhouse irrigation system is under pressure, the blockage of drippers and pasta pipes is prevented.For the first time, Dutch and Spanish greenhouse companies designed these prefabricated cylindrical water tanks for greenhouses. Because in the new Spanish and European structures, the use of traditional and old tanks was no longer possible due to the problems of algae growth, taking up space, lack of coordination with other materials of the greenhouse structure, and very difficult operation, and a structure and tank should be designed that can coordinate with the new structure and technology.
For the first time, about fifteen years ago, this model of pre-fabricated bolt and nut water storage tank was first imported to Iran from the Netherlands and was installed and implemented in the greenhouses of Varamin and other parts of the country. Due to the arrival of the galvanized greenhouse water tank from the Netherlands, these greenhouse water tanks are also called Dutch prefabricated tanks, Dutch bolt and nut tanks, and Dutch linear tanks.Considering the costs of the greenhouse and the need for return of investment, we can safely say that this tank model is the best water tank for the greenhouse. For this reason, we say the best water tank for the greenhouse, because the greenhouse must be implemented with a high-quality structure and the cheapest price so that the return of the investment is done well. Now that you are familiar with the generalities of the greenhouse cylindrical galvanized tank, we will describe the details of this model of agricultural and greenhouse water storage tanks and water tank for the greenhouse.
The greenhouse water storage tank has a steel body made of galvanized or polyurethane coating, whose function is to bear the weight of water. The metal wall of the tank is assembled by dachromat screws and nuts, suitable for the humid environment inside the greenhouse. Another layer for keeping water is installed inside the wall of the cylindrical tank of the greenhouse, which is in direct contact with the water and is completely resistant to the poison and fertilizer mixed in the water of the greenhouse tank. In order to prevent the entry of dust, various types of metal or polymer roof models can be used in the prefab water storage tank of the greenhouse.Among the types of prefabricated greenhouse water tanks, we can mention the modular galvanized water tank, the galvanized tank with a polymer roof, and the linear tank with a net-shaped wall.
Water tanks for greenhouses are offered in sizes from 20 to 30,000 cubic meters and in various types of galvanized modular tank, mesh tank, prefabricated cylindrical tank, Dutch water tank and ecotank water tank. As we mentioned, the water tank for the greenhouse is implemented in all types of metal roofs and polymer roofs, and it should be noted that the anti-UV property is included in the polymer roof of the greenhouse.
In some special places, the pre-fabricated mesh water tank is one of the most economical types of tanks, which is suitable for greenhouse water tanks, fish and aquatic breeding tanks, and small-sized agricultural water tanks. Of course, there is a point that we have a volume limit in water mesh tanks, because the greenhouse mesh water tank has a height and diameter limit.
♦ The wall of the prefabricated cylindrical tank of the greenhouse:
The prefabricated greenhouse water storage tank wall consists of smaller pieces that are connected to each other by bolts and nuts at the project site and form the greenhouse water tank wall. The wall of the prefab water storage tank is made of stainless steel galvanized material or PU epoxy coating. The required thickness of the wall of aqua tanks is obtained by calculating the structure and capacity of the tank. Sinusoidal form and U-LOCK are used for greater durability of the greenhouse tank wall. Usually, Dutch prefabricated tanks are sinusoidal. After assembling the wall parts, the final shape of the cylindrical greenhouse tank is formed. Also, instead of galvanized wall sheets, you can also use a grid-shaped wall.The mesh tank of the greenhouse has a lower cost than the galvanized tank of the greenhouse, but it can only be used in small volumes. In prefabricated metal tanks, the galvanized coating of the wall should be at least 250 grams per square meter, and structural sheets that have better pressure and stress tolerance should be used.
♦ Aqua sealing liner:
Aqua or Aquatex sealing liner, which is responsible for the maintenance and preservation of water quality, and due to its antibacterial and anti-UV properties, it is resistant to algae, moss and UV rays. This greenhouse prefabricated tank sealing liner is usually made of PVC or polyethylene, and its imported type is offered under the Aqua or Aquatex brand. Aqua Liner has a long life and high quality construction and can be repaired by the operator when needed. This liner model has high tensile strength and can be presented in black, blue, white and green colors. Other liners are used to seal tanks, but the best liner in terms of longevity, low maintenance cost, and cost-effectiveness is the Aqua Liner or Aquatex Liner.
♦ The roof of the greenhouse water tank:
The greenhouse water tank does not need a special roof due to its location inside the greenhouse, but it is possible to use different types of polymer roofs for the prefabricated water tank of the greenhouse. The advantage of the polymer roof is that it prevents possible dust from entering the greenhouse water tank. If the prefabricated greenhouse water tank is built outside the greenhouse, it is preferable to use the metal roof of the prefabricated tanks.
Advantages of prefabricated Aqua tanks:
〉 Ability to install a water tank inside the greenhouse
〉 No need for foundation
〉 Quick and easy installation of the water tank
〉 Resistant to the force of earthquakes and strong winds and strong storms
〉 Ability to disassemble and move to another place
〉 The ability to install a smart irrigation system on the greenhouse water tank
〉 Ability to add poison and fertilizer to the greenhouse water storage tank
〉 With warranty and after-sales service
