China reveals 'first modular-reactor-powered' vertical farm

AEssense LLC deployed and officially launched a cultivation system and solution in "world's first vertical farm powered by a small modular reactor (SMR) in the Gansu Province, an inland province in Northwestern China."

The company provided its single-layered AEtrium-4, a nutrient-dosing system, and its four-layer AEtrium-2.1 SmartFarm, an automated aeroponic grow system, to outfit this facility. Aeroponics delivers speedy growth with zero soil requirements and very low water usage.

Robert Chen, President & CEO, AEssense said: "By integrating AEssense's broad spectrum aeroponic vertical farming platform with reliable, low-cost, clean energy from the SMR in Gansu, we have a viable and profitable food security solution that does not increase the world's carbon footprint. Broad spectrum vertical farms powered by SMRs can be deployed where they are needed."

Upon commissioning, a wide variety of leafy greens were immediately started including lettuce, ice plant, water spinach, amaranth, and stevia. AEssense's broad spectrum platform can also be used to cultivate a wide variety of other crops including fruiting plants and root vegetables to meet consumer demand.
