AL 3 Boerdery goes green!

LTM proposed a Solar PV system to supply power to the pumps. A decision was made to deviate from the conventional AC systems. Variable speed drives (VSDs) are fed directly from the PV panels, setting the frequency for normal 50Hz pumps. Not only is this a cheaper system, but it is more robust and needs less maintenance. The inclusion of the VSD’s enables the pumps to operate for an additional 2 hours a day with no storage, by capturing the early morning and late afternoon sunshine as well, when the PV system is not operating at full capacity. After a successful pilot, the client entered into a PPA agreement. The system has been commissions and is producing more water than expected – more than 7 hours per day (even in winter), producing 1920 m3/hour – upwards of 15 000 m3 of water per a day. Client expectations have been exceeded and they are currently looking into a mass PV rollout across 6 more farms.

FNB Fairlands installs its first Food to Compost system.

Food waste can be a wonderful resource, if it is composted. Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic material, including food waste, back into a rich, healthy soil. At FNB Fairlands, they are converting the compostable waste collected by the canteen at their property which is then used to nourish the Fairlands gardens. This on-site solution has helped reduce upliftment costs while eliminating the management risk of food waste. With on-site composting and treatment of food waste they have dramatically reduced the volume of food waste going to landfills and improved their carbon footprint as well as their gardens. “We are proud to be part of an initiative that encourages the preservation of the environment. Not only will this project contribute towards a greener environment, but it also promotes skills development and food provision among community member” says Raj Makanjee, CIO of FNB.
