Clairéo

Winery wastewater treatment systems

Design, implementation, operational assistance, maintenance

The Clairéo treatment process is a 100% natural system and stands out for its simplicity of implementation and operation. It is based on simple process in three steps: collecting and areating winery wastewater in a large basin, filtering them through a reed-bed and then releasing them into the environment, filtered of their pollutants. The digital programming system makes it possible to tailor our solution to different business contexts and allows you to monitor operation in real time on-site, or remotely if desired.

The steps ofeffluent processing

1. 2. 3.

Aerate in tanks using micro-bubble technology

The first step is to set up a storage tank, with the goal of:
  • Oxygenating effluents,
  • Eliminate unpleasant odors,
  • Reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand from 15,000 mg/l to 300 mg/l (average before passing over the reed bed).

Filter through bed

Wastewater filters through drainage materials. This purification technique works by surface filtration and oxygenation. The goals here are:
  • 1. COD = under 125 mg/l
  • 2. BOD5 = under 30 mg/l
  • 3. Suspended material = 35 mg/l

Release into the environment

The water treated by the Clairéo system is filtered of all pollutants and meets required standards for release into the environment.
