Winery Wastewater Characteristics
Apr 13^th, 2006, 12:53am

Can anyone provide a table of typical winery waste strength?

I appreciate there will be a range of strengths due to seasonal variations and dilution due to washdown water etc but I figure if a get several sets of figures (preferably with references) I can quote with confidence.

I searched the web and got a couple of tables of info but not enough to be confident what "typical" really is.

Particularly after BOD, COD, SS and TKN.

Thanks in advance Grin

Surely there must be a few wine drinkers out there who have thought about this and have access to the info I'm after!! Cheers Geoff

orenda,
Thanks I'll give him a try.

Tom,
I really smiled Grin

when I read your response!

What prompted this request is a plant over here was designed using very suspect data, as a result we have an undersized and poorly performing plant. I'm after a dataset that we can quote to avoid future isses. I'm doing one for septage too.

Cheers

Geoff

"Winery Wastewater Handbook" by J Chapman. Covers production, impacts and management reasonably well, it's an Australian publication which really is helpful. Cheers G

thebert,
Thanks for the offer.

The book I found ("Winery Wastewater Handbook" by J Chapman.) answered most of my questions. It was written for the South Australian wineries (I live in Western Australia) so it was quite applicable.

However if you wish to send me information it would be appreciated. It would seem different wineries produce different strength wastes most likely on the basis of water use efficiencies. If your information covers this aspect it would be a very useful source of information.

You can send to: fritz_tc@iinet.net.au

Thanks

Geoff

Winery wastewater strength is dependent on so many factors - it is best if you sample from the wineries in question to get an idea of what you're dealing with.

Some wineries practice high levels of water conservation and thus they use less wash water resulting in higher strength waste.

Look at this link:
http://environmentagriculture.curtin.edu.au/local/docs/winewatch/Winewatch_Fact_Sheet_1.pdf

Change the sheet number from 1 through to 6 and you'll get 6 useful fact sheets.

I did a brief summary of septage and winery waste for a project a few years ago, I can send a copy of that if it helps. Send me your email address to my inbox.

Cheers
