Study Goals

  • Design an accessible shipping container in which a food production

system is integrated with the following units:

  • Higher plant segment
  • Bio-filter system
  • Urine segment

Study Goals

  • Layout of the CROP-system including subsystems for the container
  • Dimensioning of units (size, power, cycle of materials (water, urine,

fertilizer, biowaste)), sensors, tanks, pumps;

design driver: maximize plant area!

  • Accommodation of units
  • Requirements for the container (e.g. isolation, windows, structure)
  • Operation scenario
  • Risk and cost evaluation
