IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL GROW TOWER CROP PRODUCTION FACILITY

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240415083 titled 'IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL GROW TOWER CROP PRODUCTION FACILITY

Original Abstract Submitted

an irrigation system for a vertical farming structure having vertical grow towers and associated conveyance mechanisms for moving the vertical grow towers through a controlled environment, while being exposed to controlled conditions, such as lighting, airflow, humidity and nutritional support. the present disclosure describes a grow tower conveyance system that moves vertically-oriented grow towers to select positions along a grow line. an irrigation line having apertures at the select positions provides aqueous nutrient solution to the grow towers, while a gutter structure captures excess solution. in a closed loop system, the excess solution returns to a recirculation tank.
