The Liquid Industrial Wastes (LIWs) from our production plant that result from the vinification and bottling processes are treated in our LIW treatment plant at the San Carlos de Cunaco estate, according to the favorable environmental qualification of the “Wastewater Treatment System for Disposal into the Soil Project.”
The process begins with a primary treatment in the winery that separates out the larger solids (> 2 mm). The effluent moves by gravity through a parabolic filter (reception chamber) and then passes through a decanter (10 m3) where it separates the suspended solids from the effluent.
From the sedimentation zone, the effluent is sent directly to the accumulation tank (600 m3), waterproofed and aerated for its subsequent neutralization and disposal into the soil.
This treatment allows us to comply with the applicable and current environmental regulations.
