RemDry™

RemDry™ presentation

RemDry™ was developed, to provide growers with a simple, effective and sustainable solution for managing remnant waste liquids containing Plant Protection Products (PPPs) on-farm. RemDry™ features an innovative tank design and a mobile cleaning platform offering flexibility to the grower.

BENEFITS:

Costs and complexity for growers are reduced, since the RemDry™ tank and cleaning platform do not need fixing on a concrete surface
RemDry™ tanks can be sold alone as independent units to growers that already have a cleaning platform
Can manage waste liquids containing mixtures of PPPs, except oils forming a layer that prevents evaporation
Minimizes the amount of residue for disposal, since only dry residue remains after evaporating the liquid
Grower can monitor water consumption for cleaning on-farm by recording water level in the tank after any input
Adapts to the farm size and the volumes of waste liquids that need managing, by installing multiple units
It requires minimal maintenance and is a long-term solution for on-farm waste liquid management
Enables growers to put into practice the requirements for the sustainable use of pesticides by preventing water contamination

The RemDry™ system is supported by Syngenta Crop Protection AG and co-developed with Ecomembrane Srl and Uptofarm Srl, a spin-off company of the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences (DISAFA) - University of Turin, Italy.

COMPONENTS: TANK

RemDry™ consists of an octagonal steel tank covered by a transparent roof and has openings on all sides. The design allows for maximum wind and sunlight passing through.
Easy and quick to install without need to fix it on a concrete surface (anchor points are available for greater stability).
The RemDry™ tank can hold up to 2500 L of waste liquid.
Equipped with a thick base liner and an extra internal liner to contain all waste liquids poured into the tank.
The water from the waste liquid is evaporated by the action of sunlight and wind, leaving PPPs residues as a dry deposit on the internal liner.
The liner is collected for safe disposal at a waste treatment center when dry deposit has built up to a level for disposal.
RemDry™ needs to be used according to local environmental regulations and to be placed at a safe distance from water courses and roads, work areas, domestic areas and animal holding areas on farms. Proper waste treatment centers also need to be available.

COMPONENTS: CLEANING PLATFORM

Made of robust and resistant PVC membrane.
Easy and quick to set up on bare ground and to use by unfolding/folding it on the spot.
Comes in two sizes useful for accommodating different sprayer types.
◦ orchard sprayers (mounted or trailed) and arable field boom sprayers (mounted or trailed) with boom lengths up to 12m (S type: 6x6m) or higher than 12m (L type: 6x12m).
To use during mixing and loading, for emptying spray mixture remnants left in the tank, and for cleaning sprayers.
Waste liquids are collected in the central sump and transferred by a pump to the RemDry™ tank.
