Challenges of chlorine in horticulture
For irrigating plants, crops or flowers, a clean irrigation and water storage system is a must. Even though using chlorine is not ideal in horticulture, in some parts of the world it is used frequently to keep water storage systems clean. Chlorine helps prevent contamination and stops bacteria from growing in the water. Chlorine is aggressive and unpredictable though and therefore it is hard to always find the right dosage. For example, every 10 °C increase in water temperature doubles chlorine’s activity. This is why growers in warm climates often have issues with chlorine reacting with the tank liner. When the water is already clean, chlorine looks for other substances to react with, and most often, that is the liner.
ENPEX CP liner
Our ENPEX CP liner is specially designed for storing clean water with higher chlorine levels. ENPEX CP (Chlorine, Potable water) combines strong mechanical durability and UV resistance, with the ability of handling up to 250 ppm of chlorine. This is 10 times more than typical liners used for clean water storage. Bear in mind that proper dosing is key to ensure the chlorine is evenly spread through the water.
Supervision and training
NPI is highly certified in handling the ENPEX CP liner and can offer supervision and training to help customers with proper installation or process the liner on-site.
Thickness
NPI supplies the ENPEX CP liner as a standard in 0,75 mm.
