  • Publication number: 20230284575
    Abstract: A nutrient dosing system including: a mixing tank for receiving a solvent and at least one nutrient medium; and at least one dosing device, each dosing device being fluidly connected to the mixing tank. Each dosing device includes a nutrient tank for storing a nutrient medium, a reciprocating pump having an inlet port fluidly connected to the corresponding nutrient tank, and an outlet port fluidly connected to the mixing tank, and an actuator configured to actuate the reciprocating pump. The nutrient dosing system also includes a controller configured to, for at least one dosing device, control the respective actuator to cause the corresponding reciprocating pump to: load the nutrient medium from the corresponding nutrient tank; and inject a target amount of nutrient medium into the mixing tank.
