Each module has its own docking station that including water and electrical connections for dimmable LED lamps with white growth light and UV light for air and water disinfections. Air circulation fine-tuned is also possible. As a result, moisture and temperature problems are minimized. Disinfection of the container is made easy thanks to the movable modules, and heat exchangers make energy recovery possible.

Due to their handy dimensions, these units are also suitable for placement in buildings, possibly stacked.
