Case Study: Jackson Triggs Winery
Prevention, then Treatment, Reduces Capital Cost by 50%.
Effluent from the Jackson Triggs winery was consuming the majority of the town’s effluent treatment capacity, which was limiting the town’s capacity to grow. Enviro-Stewards economically addressed this challenge by preventing 2/3 of the waste at source and anaerobically treating the remainder.
As illustrated in Figure 1, in-plant P2 work conducted by Enviro-Stewards with staff from the winery in 2005 and 2008 reduced the organic loading by 2/3 and the volume of wastewater by 1/2.
Enviro-Stewards then designed an anaerobic treatment system to economically treat the remaining organics in the facility’s wastewater. The treatment system is removing 97.5% of the remaining organics and eliminating the facility’s sanitary sewer surcharge (Figure 2).
