Customer Stoll (CH) chooses ozone water treatment again

For more than 40 years, the company Stoll Légumes has been growing vegetables in Switzerland. Stoll Légumes is located just south of Lake Neuchatel in Mathod. Stoll produces primarily for the Swiss market.

Stoll Légumes grows a variety of large grain and vegetable crops outside in the field. Tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, radishes, lettuce and a variety of other vegetables are grown in the greenhouse. Every step of the process is taken care of; from sowing to harvesting. After harvest, the vegetables are carefully washed and packaged to ensure freshness and quality. 

Growing vegetables under glass in greenhouses has been happening more and more intensively in recent years. In 2022, 2.5 hectares of greenhouse was built for growing leafy crops on gutters. In modern horticulture, this is called an NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system. This involves lettuce, for example, standing in a gutter where water flows through the gutter very regularly. The excess water is collected and reused. To make this water suitable for reuse, there are 2 ozone water treatment machines of the Aquazone 200 type (see photo).

In 2024 the plan was made to convert part of the existing greenhouses to cultivate tomato and cucumber on substrate. Again, "clean" output water will be treated with ozone, using an Aquazone 120. The excess water (drain water) will also be reused here. This is treated with ozone, to ensure that there are no more diseases in it. This through our type Hortizone ECO-2 (see photo).

Benefits of treating the water with ozone are:

  1. Disinfection: both bacteria, mold and viruses
  2. Water is maximally oxygenated (residual ozone), better for root environment
  3. Removal of Nitrite (cucumber crop is very Nitrite sensitive)
  4. Removal of root exudates
