Delivering Reliable and Sustainable Winery Wastewater Treatment


The heart of our brand revolves around providing robust and eco-friendly wastewater treatment solutions. Handling process wastewater in a sustainable, hassle-free, and cost-effective manner has proven challenging but necessary for businesses in the wine industry. Our focus is on delivering reliable solutions that set the benchmark for treating winery wastewater, facilitating businesses’ keeping pace with stringent industry regulations and permit requirements.

At STS, we provide cutting-edge, automated wastewater treatment solutions specifically designed for wineries. Our systems incorporate innovative technologies like Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) and Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) to treat winery wastewater to stringent regulatory standards while leaving a smaller footprint. From robust remote monitoring to optimized treatment processes, STS wastewater systems deliver maximum uptime and effluent quality while minimizing operational costs and environmental impact.

Maximizing Return on Investment with STS Treatment Solutions


The cornerstone of our solution lies in providing an unparalleled return on your investment. Our wastewater treatment plants are designed to optimize functionality, guaranteeing you a higher level of efficiency while reducing overhead costs. Making practical use of underutilized waste, our treatment process aids in generating energy, bringing substantial cost savings for your winery business.

By integrating cutting-edge technologies like reverse osmosis into our treatment solution, we enable businesses to use the treated water for secondary purposes like irrigation. This not only minimizes the reliance on freshwater but also significantly reduces your utility costs, adding to your winery’s bottom-line profits.

Our compact, modular systems require less space than traditional ponds or leach fields, enabling better land use. The systems are engineered for low life-cycle costs, with minimal maintenance needs. Automated controls and remote monitoring further reduce manual oversight while ensuring smooth operations. With experience across hundreds of winery installations, our expert team provides tailored solutions to enhance ROI.

STS solutions ensure that we deliver an effective, reliable, and sustainable alternative, providing you an opportunity to capitalize on your winery waste. At the same time, recycling wastewater allows you to bolster your brand image as a responsible and eco-friendly business.

Our Winery Treatment Systems: Fully Automated, High-Efficiency


STS offers advanced automation and process controls for high-efficiency, reliable winery water treatment. Instead of basic timed dosing of chemicals, our proprietary control logic actively monitors water quality and makes precise adjustments to optimize treatment processes. Parameters like dissolved oxygen, pH, nutrients, and more are continually measured to enhance biological treatment reactions and membrane performance.

This automation enables our compact treatment systems to handle highly variable winery wastewater flows and contaminant loads. Our high-efficiency treatment solutions minimize the need for manual intervention, saving valuable time and resources for your business.

Minimizing Operation Interventions with Automation


The STS control platform minimizes the need for manual operator interventions. The Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) automatically vary aeration rates and chemical dosing levels in response to changing influent conditions. Automatic backwashing and cleaning of membranes are also programmed based on historical performance data. With around-the-clock automation, our wastewater treatment systems practically run themselves. Operators simply perform routine maintenance while the automation handles optimization for peak treatment efficiency.

Ensuring Consistent Performance and Reduced Downtime

Sophisticated alarming and remote monitoring further back up the STS process automation, enabling rapid fault identification and remediation. System alerts are immediately sent to operators whenever critical parameters fall outside programmed limits. This allows operators and STS technicians to address issues rapidly before they impact effluent quality or uptime.

With full remote system access, adjustments can often be made immediately to resolve abnormal conditions. By pairing world-class controls with robust connectivity, STS minimizes downtime while sustaining consistent, reliable treatment performance.

Our Data-Driven Approach to Winery Wastewater Treatment

Optimizing wastewater treatment requires adapting to ever-changing conditions. Influent flows and contaminant concentrations fluctuate with production schedules, tank washdowns, seasonal changes, and more. STS employs advanced data utilization along with subject matter expertise to continually maximize treatment processes. Our automation platforms record data on water chemistry, equipment status, flow rates, and other critical parameters.

Innovative Approach to Treating Wastewater Through Data Analysis

The STS process engineering team applies sophisticated modeling of recorded system data to simulate and predict system performance. By analyzing relationships between variables like nutrient concentrations, dissolved oxygen, pH, and membrane fouling, our experts can pinpoint and resolve limiting factors in treatment. Continually fine-tuned models allow the STS team to develop specialized influent characterization and troubleshooting methods for unmatched treatment optimization. These data-driven capabilities specially tailored for winery wastewater streams ensure systems meet the most stringent effluent requirements through seasonal variations and changing winemaking activities.
