Introduction: How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Agriculture, as first sector of production, recognizes the importance of careful environmental management. It highlights the fact that the current success and future growth of the industry can only be sustained if environmental issues such as water use are addressed.

Why is water so important 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. How can you save water & energy in your wineries?

Water & Vinification Valuation about use of water: High consumption of water and its heating (energy consumption) Presence of detergent or organic element in the wastewater. pict. 1: A vinery in Macerata How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Techniques: 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. How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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 at medium 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. How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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. Pict. 3: Cleaning of wine barrel  How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Countercurrent washing The water uses for a step is used also for the previous one. 4 step 1 step 2step 3 step Wastewater Clean water How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Pre-washing and dry cleaning 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 How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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 How can you save water & energy in your wineries?

Membrane systems These processes use the osmosis’ system. Pict. 4: Mebrane system These processes use the osmosis’ system. There is selective membrane How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

UV radiation This system kills virus and bacterium Benefits: Not water alteration Not use of chemicals Not pollution Cheap energetic cost How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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 How can you save water & energy in your wineries?

Use of the injectors The pressure helps the cleaning, washing and cooling of produces. Pict. 5: water pressure energy. How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Tap-waste We can use automatic taps. Another strategy is that of introduced air in the water. Pict. 6: Flow control valve How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Don’t wash bottles We can avoid bottle washing, saving water and energy winery if we buy sterilized bottles. Pict: 7: Wine’s bottles How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Chemicals (detergents) These products: remove Tatars using recommendeddose are sanitizers Sodium Hypochlorite Great amount of water Acid Per citric Ambient respect are antifermentatives Potassium Metabisulfite using recommended dose How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

Water & Energy: Staff At the end the worker must be updated their knowledge, and using the recommended dosage for the products. Pict. 8: a wine’s glass. How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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 How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata

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. How can you save water & energy in your wineries? Vinification Chiara C.4°A IIS Macerata
