Agrozone recently commissioned several multi-split systems at the tulip grower Premium Tulips in Peru, which cultivates tulips at an altitude of approximately 3,000 meters above sea level. In addition, bulbs are imported from the Netherlands and stored there. Despite the high altitude and the clean and, above all, thin air, there was still a need to improve air quality in the storage cells. On the other hand, the high altitude also allows the grower to cultivate a wide variety of tulips year-round.

At low ozone concentrations, the ethylene released from the bulbs proved to be highly degradable, and the concentration could be kept below the harmful threshold of 100 ppb. In addition, fungal spore formation was significantly reduced in the storage cells. The crop exhibits a consistently uniform appearance during the ripening process.

A satisfied customer with ambitions to expand their business—and we look forward to helping them achieve that in the coming years! This means that high-quality propagation and growing media are also being supplied to various customers in Peru.
