ETHTECS
Ethtecs® Biomass Chambers Hydroganic® Production Systems
The Ethtecs®
Biomass Chamber is a controlled, secure environment growing chamber for the production and growing of a variety of sprout plant products including; wheat, barley, rye and oat cereal grass sprouts, broccoli, kale, alfalfa, mung bean, onion, garlic, soy bean and rice sprouts. The growing environment is protected from external contaminants and controlled for seed quality, moisture, temperature, humidity air flow light and plant nutrients.
Recent chamber development now means that Opti Grow can sprout very small seeds such as amaranth, watercress etc This will allow our customers to add very specific and new bioactive profiles to their products and to gain a technical advantage over competitor products.
Hydroganic® Production Systems an auditable plant growing and production process where a plant product is grown soil-free, and in an environment which is free of herbicides, pesticides, hormones, artificial growth promoters, irradiation or genetic modification. The growing and production processes are optimised to retain the naturally-occurring bioactive compounds of that plant species.
Key Points:
- Controlled growing environment
- Contaminant free growing environment
- Soil free
- No herbicides, pesticides, hormones or GMO
- Auditable supply chain and process
- In house steam sterilisation service
- HPLC laboratory service for product COA
Turn Key Production Systems:
The “Ethtecs” biomass chamber technology supplants traditional climate-dependant agricultural growing methods to produce plant products with greater nutritional value and less harmful contamination than previously possible.
The Ethtecs® Biomass Growing Chamber:
- Highly intensive growing system
- Uses no artificial pesticides or herbicides
- Accelerated growth rates
- Requires no arable land
- Uses 5% of the water commonly used to produce similar plant growth by traditional means
- Consistent quantity and quality year round
- Independent of external weather conditions
- Every 5 square metres of Ethtecs® Biomass chamber has the food growing capacity of a hectare of prime irrigated agricultural land.
- The “Ethtecs®” biomass chamber technology recreates nature’s ideal conditions to facilitate this process in an optimum manner.
Hydroganic® Production Systems:
An auditable plant growing and production process suitable for the production of plants for high value applications where certification of ingredient origin and production processes are required, such as functional ingredients, health supplements, nutraceutical products and pharmaceutical ingredients.
The growing and production processes are optimised to retain the naturally-occurring bioactive compounds of that plant species.
