Wineries

We understand winery waste water needs, and have the skills and resources to suit.

Wine wastewater has high levels of naturally occurring sugars, which, if released into local waterways, could result in damaging algae blooms and other disastrous outcomes for aquatic life in local waterways. Furthermore, winery wastewater usually has extreme pH levels and high volumes of organic loads, which result in the depletion of oxygen levels in the water. Both are devastating for aquatic life and local waterways.

Wineries are also required to wash their facilities thoroughly during the harvesting and production of their wine. These massive loads of trade wastewater are often too large and too contaminated, to disperse to land onsite, and must be treated before being dispersed into the sewer network. This trade waste water must be collected by accredited liquid waste specialists and according to the trade waste regulations of local water authorities.

The majority of wineries are located in regional areas, which means they are not connected to the sewer network. All wastewater from kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, including accommodation and restaurants onsite, must be treated by wastewater treatment systems onsite and dispersed to their own land. The septic systems must be regularly desludged by an EPA accredited liquid waste contractor, and regularly serviced by an accredited service technician. The Grease traps from commercial kitchens must also be cleaned regularly. Harmor Liquid Waste Solutions can undertake all of these services and more.
