Napa Valley Wineries & Vineyards will no longer need to worry about the hassle & expense of onsite treatment, odors, septic tanks, leach fields, or wastewater ponds tying up valuable vine land. Their waste can now be recycled locally & on a daily basis if needed.
PRLog - Dec. 1, 2014 - NAPA, Calif. -- A $15 Million High-Rate Anaerobic Digester that can recycle 100 million gallons of Winery & Vineyard Waste is headed for American Canyon, CA.
Napa Valley Wineries & Vineyards will no longer need to worry about the hassle & expense of onsite treatment, odors, septic tanks, leach fields, or wastewater ponds tying up valuable vine land. Their waste can now be recycled locally & on a daily basis if needed.
The System development is by Veolia Waters North America (http://www.veoliawaterstna.com) & is specifically designed to recycle winery & vineyard waste streams.
The project is backed by an Environmental Investment Group focusing on Napa Valley & its Entrepreneurs's. The biodigester uses anaerobic bacteria to break down grape skins and other matter within the wastewater, ridding it of much of its wastes within 24 hours. The treated water may be used in vineyard irrigation.
A breakdown of the waste stream shows items such as: Wine & Juice, Barrel Wash, Wine Lees, Waste Water Screenings, Pond Sludge, Cooling Tower Blowdown, Water Softener Concentrate, Ion Exchange Rejects, Boiler Blowdown, Acid Caustic Rinse Water & High Salinity Waste would be eliminated from landfills & instead be converted into clean energy.
Wineries, Vineyards & Wastewater Generators wanting an inexpensive recycling & disposal solution close to home should contact:
