The annual yield per square foot of a VAP System Bioshelter is six times that of a normal greenhouse. Therefore; a VAP System Bioshelter of 5,000 sq. ft. is equivalent to a normal greenhouse of 30,000 sq. ft The VAP System Bioshelter is really independent of the seasons and will produce on a year-round basis. The environment of the interior is as near to a natural state as possible. In a normal greenhouse year-round production can only be achieved with full air-conditioning which, in fact produces a completely artificial environment. The necessary investment and operating costs make this a totally uneconomical proposition. The water consumption of a VAP System Bioshelter is only 10 % of that required for a normal greenhouse. With the VAP System there is no water wastage as the supply is contained within a closed circuit which permits recycling. The only water used is that taken by the plants. In a VAP System Bioshelter, the necessary nutrients for cultivation are contained in solution in the closed circuit water supply system referred to above. The composition of the nutrients is controlled automatically. The roots of the plants absorb only as much of the nutrients as they require. The resulting produce, therefore, contains the minimum of fertilizer and is consequently of the highest quality. In a VAP System Bioshelter fertile soil is not required. The nutrient solution is made of compost tea Any normal greenhouse requires large quantities of fertile soil. The personnel requirements of a VAP System Bioshelter are very low. For example a production bioshelter of 45,000 sq. ft. requires only 2 technicians and 6 unskilled workers. An equivalent size normal greenhouse of 270,000 sq.ft. would require at least 30 workers.
The VAP System is designed on a module of 12 ft x 6 ft x 10 ft. and can be supplied in multiples of this module. The minimum practical size, commercially viable, would be 10,000 sq. ft.
