(Iksan=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Jin-bang = The Korea Rural Economic Institute announced on the 13th that it has successfully demonstrated the "Dual Cyclone Filter" in collaboration with Chonnam National University, which can effectively purify agricultural groundwater without the need for filter replacement.
Agricultural groundwater often contains impurities such as sand and iron powder, which can cause pump and injector failures, crop surface damage, and diseases in livestock farms, leading to significant losses for farmers.
The research team led by Professor Hong Se-woon from Chonnam National University developed the Dual Cyclone Filter, which solves this problem by rotating two cyclones in opposite directions to quickly separate water and impurities.
Compared to conventional single cyclones, it has a higher efficiency in removing fine particles and does not require separate filter replacements, resulting in significant cost savings in maintenance.
Tests conducted by the Korea Rural Economic Institute in six farms in the Jeonnam and Chungnam regions showed improvements in filtration efficiency by up to 88%, including improvements in turbidity, reduced water loss, and increased livestock water consumption.
The Korea Rural Economic Institute plans to provide on-site education on the use and maintenance of the filter, and will also produce and distribute video materials containing installation and operation guides.
Director Ahn Ho-geun of the Korea Rural Economic Institute said, "This project is a model case that scientifically solves the chronic problems of farmers, and the result of field-oriented research reflecting the voices of farmers. The Korea Rural Economic Institute will continue to steadily practice innovation that can be felt on-site through the expansion of technology demonstration through industry-academia cooperation."
