Treatment of winery wastewater can be difficult over vintage due to seasonal flow and contaminant increases.  This, coupled with perceived cost of treatment, can make choosing a system somewhat daunting.  While there are several options for wastewater treatment, it is very site specific, and adjusting to vintage periods is often poorly understood. GHD is a consulting firm that provides specialist services to help you develop appropriate wastewater systems (including incorporating what’s existing) to meet environmental criteria and mitigate odours.

Wastewater treatment involves a cost, but appropriate treatment allows you to recycle a precious resource.  There is payback from saving water and providing nutrients to vineyard soil, both of which contribute to the sustainability of the winery.
