Introduction: How can you save water & energy in

your wineries? Agriculture, as first sector of production,recognizes the importance of carefulenvironmental management. It highlights

thefact that the current success and futuregrowth of the industry can only be sustainedif environmental issues such as water use

areaddressed. How can you save water & energy in your

wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Why is water soimportant in wine

production?Wine production needs a great amount

of water.We use it for washing, cleaning and

sanitation of machinery, tank, pipes, barrels and bottles. These steps avoid that the wine touches foreign elements and other products.

The purpose is a wine with healthy and organoleptic quality.

Water & VinificationValuation about use of

water:–High consumption

of water and its heating (energy consumption) –Presence of

detergent or organic element in the wastewater.

• Saving water in washing operation.

• Avoiding wastewater in washing.• Adopting modern systems and

technology for water purification and reusing.

• Decreasing water consumption in process steps.

• Reducing pollution in wastewater.

CIP (cleaning in place)

The machine is provided by an automatic, electronic and auto-recycling system of detergents and solution for washing.

There are 2 system of CIP• 1 stage system: con EDTA that cause

ambient problem• Double-stage system: whit caustic and

acid solutions that need high consumption of water, energy and reagent.

Water cleaner atmedium pressure

Medium pressure requires less quantity of water than any other similar systems using low pressure.

We can save water, wastewater is limited and save energy at the same time.

High-pressure wash(HPLV-high pressure-low

volume)The water mechanic energy could reduce

the temperature and the quantity of cleaning water and the sanitizers.

Clean water

Pre-washing and drycleaning of the working area

Dry cleaning is a dry mechanic washing method

Benefits:• No water use• No water contamination• Possibility of recycling of value parts

Air pressure

The air pressure system could be used to clean pipes.

It reduces the residue, and get better the wastewater and uses less water for cleaning.

An evolution of this system is the “Pigging”.

The Pigging system consists in a little obstacle that removes residuals

Membrane systems

These processes use the osmosis’ system.

There is selective membrane

Ozone use

This system purpose is disinfection and recycling of water.

• Benefits:• No pollution and degrade the pollutants• Get better the biodegradability• No salt in the treated water• The ozone use is efficiency in bottling

and rinsing

Tap-waste

• We can use automatic taps.

• Another strategy is that of introduced air in the water.

Water & energy:General Suggestion

• Switching off lights and equipment that are not in use.

• Using photovoltaic power plant, solar panels and energy low bulbs.

• Using equipment with variable speed.

• Isolating warm and cool water pipelines and tank

Conclusion

• No heating water is saving energy• Less machinery water comsumption

is saving water• Reducing pollution and wastewater is

saving water and we can also reuse it.
