Vertical farming uses 95% less water than traditional agriculture due to smart, high-tech growing systems, water reuse, and recycling. It is a sustainable agricultural practice, but technology providers always look for ways to improve it.

In 2022, iFarm engineers patented a dehumidification system to reuse the water that plants evaporate as they grow, thus improving vertical farming sustainability.

The latest development by the iFarm team is a condensate treatment unit designed to recycle the condensate produced by air conditioning and dehumidification systems. Using this unit, up to 70% of the daily water generated by these systems can be saved (estimated for a vertical farm with a growing area of 2,000 m²).

The condensate treatment system consists of a condensate pre-treatment unit, a storage tank, and a pumping station. The unit can be installed in a new vertical farm or an existing production facility. Farm personnel can maintain the new unit without requiring engineering support.
