Case	Since 2024, to measure nutrient composition of irrigation water and drain water on a daily schedule, closed waterloop, providing insights on nutrient reduction as part of energy savings.

In the KAS20230 location Bleiswijk we run a program to show how we can minimize energy use in the greenhouse. Nutrient use is an important part of this. With CE-Line we can reduce the fertilizer use since we know exactly what is returning to the water management system. while at the same time see immediately if there are any deficits or overshoots in the dosing to the crop.

WUR has collaborated with us on long-term research in previous years, and the placement of this unit marks the success of our joint development. At this location, we are learning how to grow crops more autonomously. CE-Line provides fast measurements and data, allowing daily adjustments of nutrient dosing down to a nutrient-specific level. It also gives insights into how different water treatment systems, such as ozone, affect the nutrient base.
