Product Everything under control Getting the maximum return on your investment is always a matter of control. One need to be in control of the environmental conditions to get constant high quality and the highest possible yield of production. A greenhouse provides this control. It gives the means of such growing environment without any concern of climate or even seasonal conditions. Besides, it makes possible to predict the crop quantity enabling the grower to assess required personnel and raw materials. water, agricultural land and fertilizers. In addition, excess water and fertilizers can be collected and recycled. So fewer fungicides and pesticides are needed. It may be clear that growing in a closed environment is both a sustainable and economical sound production method. The highest production of the best quality under ideal 08 09 Better for our environment Moreover, anyone who commands the Art of environmental conditions Growing in a greenhouse conserves our precious environment. Compared with conventional agriculture this production process uses far less PRODUCT
The needed temperature at the lowest costs A heating system must run economically and provide a uniform temperature to ensure optimum growth. Our fully integrated heating systems take care of an even distribution of temperature across the entire surface of the greenhouse. Of course the heating system need to be adjusted Systems Top quality for the best performance For a successful horticultural project with the maximum production of the highest quality to the local conditions. In some places it maybe necessary to choose for tubular heating while in other places hot air heating will be sufficient. Dalsem has all the experience in making the right choices. Integrated design guarantees maximum efficiency and lower energy costs you need the best systems made today. Dalsem has an excellent reputation in system design 10 11 Computerization and manufacturing.

Innovating in co-generation All our systems are fully customized to get the highest yield and the best quality and natural heat resources We are one of the few pioneers that use waste and geothermal heat as the source of energy for the heating installations of greenhouses Dalsem has developed several projects that make optimum use of power station generated waste heat and geothermal energy for their greenhouse heating. The result: a huge reduction in energy costs and less harm to the environment. The knowledge and practical experience acquired with these projects are used in similar projects elsewhere in the world. Environment Exceeding all quality norms and regulations 12 13 Nowadays all over the world the construction and operation of horticultural projects are subject to increasingly strict norms and environmental requirements. Of course Dalsem Horticultural Projects takes these local requirements into account and only develops projects that fully comply with these standards. However, Dalsem is going further. By developing more innovations we can even meet the environmental standards of tomorrow. Today s regulations, for example, is that water and fertilizers cannot simply be discharged, but have to be re-used. Because other countries will start to follow these regulations soon, Dalsem not only meet the strictest of quality standards, but in this respect also takes the projected future developments into account. Innovating is herein the key factor. develops irrigation and heating systems which ENVIRONMENT
