Wine Wastewater Treatment System
The effluents resulting from the production of wine are characterized by: high organic load due to the presence of ethanol and / or sugars; nutrient deficiency (nitrogen and phosphorus); variable pH, usually very acidic in the vintage; and appreciable concentrations of suspended solids. The NatureWaves® and Cork NatureWaves® growing popularity is due in part to the fact that the treatment system offers the advantages of a solution for the water decontamination with a passive process, natural, low-maintenance and very simple operation.
The plant roots play a key role in the wastewater treatment processes, due to the contact provided with the water. The plants roots provide an area for development of biofilms communities containing microorganisms responsible for a number of very important treatment processes. This symbiosis allows removal of BOD5, nitrogen, phosphates and others, and their incorporation into plant biomass.
Advantages of the wine production wastewater ecological treatment:
- Small area of implantation;
- No sludge production (natural disposal of sludge through the NatureWaves® and Cork NatureWaves®);
- Do not have the problems associated with filamentous bulking;
- Low electrical consumption;
- It does not produce unpleasant odours;
- The operation of the WWTP is very simple;
- Costs associated with maintenance are very low;
- Ability to withstand fluctuations of flow and loads of bodies;
- Greater retention of biomass compared to other treatment systems.
