It might come as a surprise, but wineries thrive off good wastewater and sewage treatment. Subpar wastewater treatment can lead to health concerns, heavy penalties, a permit suspension and even an interruption or cessation of a winery’s production. If you’re wondering how wineries manage their wastewater, and how a surface aerator can help your winery, read on for our helpful information.

Wastewater management in wineries

Wineries produce wastewater which usually includes liquid spillage, yeast, seeds, stalks, cleaning products, and sedimentation. To manage their wastewater, most wineries build a pond where the water is collected. This is a cost-effective, straightforward approach which provides sustainable, low-maintenance, and long-term solutions. When building their pond, it’s crucial wineries ensure enough oxygen to prevent odour or build-up of bacteria in the water. A surface aerator helps to oxygenate the wastewater and so keep the pond at peak condition.

Surface aerators for wastewater management

A surface aerator draws water from the pond’s surface and sends it into the air. This disturbs the surface, causing air bubbles to be sent down into the pond to oxygenate the water. This particular aerator is also called a “fountain”, as it comes with a particular aesthetic in addition to its practical function. Other aerators draw in air from above the pond and continuously disperse it below the surface. Both options effectively allow for sufficient oxygen to maintain the wastewater and the condition of the pond.
