OmniFlow

OmniFlow invented the proprietary self-cleaning irrigation technology that reduced emitter flow rate to less than 200 ml/h for the first time. As the basic element that sustains people and plants, people now have a whole new ability to control water, as well as easier ways to make plants fully integrated into the human living and working environment, while turning deserts into oasis with less water and management. Water saving, Organic agriculture, Ecological restoration, and much more.

The small-flow irrigation is a fundamental technological advancement that will change traditional irrigation techniques, and the human-plant relationship, in many ways. It will serve as a long-lasting infrastructure for the planet. 

The history of human irrigation is the history of water control. Drip irrigation technology, invented 50 years ago, is a peak of human’s ability to control water and has become the most water-saving irrigation technology. Planting models that work with drip irrigation technology have also continued to emerge, and most of the water-efficient and close-to-habitat irrigation we see now is achieved with the support of drip irrigation technology. However, the water supply rate of drip irrigation still far exceeds the absorption rate of plants and the diffusion rate of the soil, making the fit between plants and the habitat environment difficult, and there is still much room for improvement in water saving efficiency and plant regulation.

Self-cleaning irrigation technology achieves a higher level of control over water, allowing for the ultimate plant-water match. Although on the surface it is only an order of magnitude lower flow rate than drip irrigation, just as the leap from transistors to integrated circuits has led to the development of many industries, self-cleaning low-flow irrigation technology will also trigger a new relationship between people and plants, and the environment and plants. The birth of this core technology makes any façade object become the “skeleton” of the green life form, and the fine and safe water supply becomes the “capillaries” on the skeleton, providing water and nutrition to the “skin” of green plants growing on it at any time, without any excess water outflow. This new relationship will not only bring social benefits in terms of water and fertilizer saving, organic agriculture, and desert to oasis, but also breeds huge business opportunities in itself.
