Dimensionamento de um sistema de bombeamento para irrigação de horta orgânica na Penitenciária Estadual de Guarapuava

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in changes in dietary patterns in Brazil, with a growing adoption of a healthy diet. One aspect of this growth is the cultivation of organic products, which requires a constructive and comprehensive maintenance approach to be effective. This work is part of an outreach project at the Federal Technological University of Paran·, whose main objective is to involve students in real problems companies or institutions face. The This Project aimsimplement an irrigation system in an organic garden in the city of Guarapuava, Paraná·, as part of a vegetable cultivation project by the inmates of the Guarapuava State Penitentiary (PEG). The main stages of this study include the study of the implementation area, the sizing of a pumping system to draw water from a reservoir and supply a tank, the implementation of an irrigation system for the gardens, and the graphic representation of the entire project. The results so far have been promising: the implementation of the pumping system will ensure the water supply for the existing tank in the area, with a capacity of ten thousand liters. For the irrigation system, there is a need to install a pressurizer to guarantee the proper pressure throughout the water distribution network. In addition, 3D-printed sprinkler prototypes will be used in the greenhouses, aiming to bring innovation to the project while emphasizing the importance of further studying these new irrigation accessories. Thus, the project can be satisfactorily completed with good results achieved.
