South-Korea is the largest exporter of paprika to Japan, accounting for 61% of the Japanese market (source). Because of this, South-Korea is increasingly building hi-tech glass greenhouses for paprikas. This way they can grow in any season.

Irrigation and water storage systems for bell peppers

Our dealer in South-Korea is a turnkey greenhouse construction company. With more than 30 years of experience in horticulture, they supply A to Z solutions for the construction of advanced greenhouses. As part of their greenhouse solutions, they provide irrigation and water storage systems. In this greenhouse facility, our dealer installed 4 water tanks. These water tanks are connected to a drip irrigation system, which is the best irrigation method for bell peppers. The root systems of peppers go deep into the soil, and drip irrigation fed by these steel water tanks ensure a steady water supply to maintain proper moisture levels in the soil.

Properties of the steel water tanks

These water tanks have a diameter and a height of 4,56 meter. The bottom ring is coated to give this metal ring extra protection. The bottom ring is partially buried to provide additional stability to the tank construction. As lining material ENPEX FPP 0,75 mm was applied.
